Dear Wayne:
‘As you are aware, the New Hanover County Schools last week received two separate public
records requests for any photos or video recordings you took with your personal cell phone at
the March 3, 2020 Board of Education meeting while sitting at the Board table. | understand it is
your position that these items are personal and not public records. However, given the
circumstances under which you made these recordings, | believe there is a reasonable basis to
consider them public records.
Therefore, | am requesting that you promptly provide the photos andlor video recordings to the
NHCS Chief Communications Officer Ann Gibson, as well as records related to any
transmission of these items. For your reference, with this letter | am providing you with a copy
of the public records requests.
Sincerely,
DLH—
Dr. Del Burns
Interim Superintendent

Hello Ann,
Iwas writing to request copies of the videos Wayne Bullard took on his phone at the recent school board meeting, and
also records of anyone those videos were shared with. Can you help me with that? Also, do you have a copy of his
contract?
‘Thanks so much!

Good evening folks,
I've attached a public records request for certain records from Mr. Wayne Bullarc’s cellphone/smartphone. The
request includes a description of the records we are looking for but, in general, we are seeking any images and
videos recorded by Mr. Bullard while in the public employ and sitting al the Board's table during public meetings
(specifically during the ‘call to the audience’ section of several recent meetings. We believe those recordings
Constitute a public record. By extension, we believe phone records showing the transmission of those recordings,
from Mr. Bullard’s phone is also a public record,
Feel free to contact me any time to discuss this further, including any questions, concerns, or clarification you
might wish to have about this request.
Thank you, as always, for your assistance,
Ben
