Grand Prairie man requested public records -- and got $406,386 bill from school district

4. I handle sarcasm pretty well

and in a number of ways I agree with your comments. Even if all the information is made available, it also requires a certain set of skills by the requester to gain anything meaningful from the data. What is even worse though is that media may incorrectly interpret the information provided in the request which then places the onus back on the provider to comment on or refute those allegations.

If Mr. Chakary wants to pursue this request, then he should think about having summarized information prepared rather than requesting all records. If he wants to drill down further, then a subsequent request can be sent for specific cases.
