On May 29, 2026, LION (Local Integrity Oversight Network) filed SHERMANISD-PIA-001 with Sherman Independent School District. The request was transmitted to the district’s open-records inbox at openrecords@shermanisd.net, with Chief Communications Officer Meghan Cone (mcone@shermanisd.net) copied.
The Texas Public Information Act (Chapter 552, Texas Government Code) is the state law that gives any person the right to request records held by Texas governmental bodies, including school districts. This request sought a complete export of Sherman ISD’s current library collection across all campuses, plus the district’s approved reading lists, in electronic format.
Under Government Code §552.221, the district must promptly produce responsive records. The standard statutory window for production or a written explanation is 10 business days from receipt, which falls on or about June 12, 2026.
