The Burlington Reporter has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to Alamance County seeking access to records of newly executed contracts or amendments within the year 2024. The request, made under the North Carolina Public Records Law, G.S. §132-1., was sent on January 16, 2026.
The request specifically targets contracts in three key areas: public works, information technology or digital services, and consulting or professional services. The reporter from Burlington Reporter has requested that these documents be provided in electronic format where possible. The request emphasizes that it applies only to existing records and includes signed contracts or amendments executed during the specified time frame.
As a media organization dedicated to comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, Burlington Reporter seeks this information to ensure transparency and accountability within public institutions. The organization has also requested a fee waiver based on its role in disseminating information to the public.
Additionally, the requester is affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit corporation that aids media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through FOIA and Sunshine Laws. More details about this coalition can be found on their website.
Of note, Alamance County school districts reported that out of 1,441 senior students taking the science portion of the ACT in the 2022-23 school year, only 241 students (16.7%) were considered ready for college.
