EXCLUSIVE — Fairfax County Public Schools is asking for nearly $36,000 to respond to a Virginia Freedom of Information Act request seeking information about an elite public school’s financial relationship with groups tied to China’s military.
Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, part of FCPS in Virginia, partnered with Tsinghua University High School, or TUHS, to assist it and China generally with adopting the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, or STEM, and advanced lab research TJHSST is famous for. TUHS is closely tied to Tsinghua University, considered by the Pentagon to be a Chinese military university.
Molly Shannon, the public records manager for FCPS, told PDE this week that “the preliminary search yielded 122,975 pages of potentially responsive email records.” She said, “FCPS estimates that it will require 1,026 hours of labor time to fulfill your request” and that “the estimated costs” were $35,910.
The FOIA from PDE asked to search specific correspondence from FCPS Superintendent Scott Braband, FCPS board member Ricardy Anderson, TJHSST Principal Ann Bonitatibus, former TJHSST Principal Evan Glazer, TJHSST Assistant Principal Gary Grosicki, former TJ fund executive director Aristia Kinis, former TJ fund official Miriam Lamoreaux, TJ fund development analyst Anita Jo, TJ fund assistant principal liaison Volita Russell, TJ fund vice chairwoman Marilena Barletta, and TJ fund at-large...
The DCist reported in June 2022 that FCPS had added $500,000 to its 2023 budget to deal with an increase in FOIA requests. The outlet said FOIA requests to FCPS had increased from 190 in 2016 to 381 in 2019 and then up to 633 in 2021.
