 Tçnâ koe Stacey

 

Thank you for your email of 29 April 2026 requesting the following
information from the Ministry of Education (the Ministry):

 

I am interested in understanding how many OIA requests have been made in
the past 12 months (April 2025 - April 2026) which involved schools in the
Franklin District - Auckland.

                                                                           

Your request has been considered under the Official Information Act 1982
(the OIA).

 

The Ministry is responsible for responding to OIA requests for information
that the Ministry holds. Schools are self-governing, and are responsible
for responding to OIA requests for information that the school holds. The
Ministry has no oversight of OIA requests made to or responded to by
schools, and is not involved in supporting schools to respond, as we are a
separate decision-making entity under the legislation.

 

On that basis, the Ministry does not hold information on how many OIA
requests have been made to schools, only on how many OIA requests the
Ministry has received. We may receive requests for information about
specific schools, but if the information requested is not held by the
Ministry, or it is more closely related to the functions of the school,
then the legislative requirement is for the Ministry to transfer that
request to the school to respond.

 

In other circumstances, when the Ministry is responding to a request for
information that we hold or that is more closely related to our functions,
we may need to consult with specific schools on the release of certain
information if it involves that school. However, the Ministry’s OIA
workflow system does not capture that engagement in such a way that we
could report on it to respond to your request.

 

So that we can reasonably identify the information you are seeking, and in
light of the above, could you please clarify the type of school
involvement you are referring to in your request?

 

We look forward to hearing from you. Once we have your clarification, we
will commence work on your request.

 

Please note that, in line with section 15 (1AA) of the Act, if refinement
or clarification of a request is sought within seven working days of the
date on which the request was received, the Ministry may treat the amended
or clarified request as a new request that replaces the original request
for the purposes of calculating the timeframe.
