FOIA Request to Illinois Community College Board Regarding State Agency Contracts with Vendors on March 24, 2025.
As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Sangamon Sun have submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Illinois Community College Board. Our request seeks documentation and details concerning the fulfillment of contractual obligations for all contracts executed or modified between this state agency and their vendors during January of the 2023 fiscal year.
Specifically, we are requesting records that verify the scope of work performed, deliverables completed, and any reports or evaluations related to these contracts. Access to these public records is crucial for us as members of the media in our efforts to hold public institutions accountable and ensure transparency for the public.
In line with our role in disseminating information, we have requested a fee waiver due to our status as media professionals. Additionally, we are affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting news media companies and public advocacy groups in investigating state and federal governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws.
We believe that pulling back the curtain on government actions is essential for informing the American electorate. For more information about our efforts and those of The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, please visit [https://stopsecrecy.org/about/](https://stopsecrecy.org/about/).
