The Minnesota Government Data Practices Act (“MGDPA”) governs requests for access to government data. Government data is generally defined in Chapter 13 of the Minnesota Statutes. Requests for data under the MGDPA must be submitted to the “Responsible Authority” of Rochester Public Schools.  Superintendent Dr. Kent Pekel is the Responsible Authority.

In reference to all data requests, please review the following: 

• Policy 406 Public and Private Personnel Data
