2/ "While the district was willing to provide the numbers of concussions for three years, the step-by-step process by which they deal with them remains murky because officials have so far refused to release individual concussion reports," @KatherineMLewin writes.

We built a simple, customizable records request you can bring to school officials.

4/ The initiative was part of "Lasting impact," a collaborative episode with @invw we first aired in February. revealnews.org/episodes/lasti…

5/ Since it aired, more than 140 people across the country have requested our form to learn more about their schools' concussion policies.
