The following was my first communication to Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) Data Request staff as follow-up to Data Request #26-51:
October 14, 2026
Kimberly/MPS Data Request Staff---
Eight days have now transpired since I issued Public Data Request #26-511 asking for Davis Center staff listed by position and salary. In prior administrations Scott Weber easily provided this information within a day or two.
Please fulfill the indicated request with all due speed.
With best regards---
Gary

I then replied briefly to Kimberly Haynes as follows:
This is a highly routine request that in all past administrations has been fulfilled within two days--- I will again be making numerous requests as I complete the second edition of my book in the district, so that delay in this one is worrisome. Delays in providing information that should be readily available becomes part of my assessment of an administration I have found to be frequently prevaricating---
