East China board upholds denial of two FOIA requests
Summary
On Nov. 17 the board voted 5–0 to uphold the FOIA Coordinator's denial of two requests by Laurie Gardner, directing staff to issue written notice consistent with the Freedom of Information Act.
The East China School District Board of Education voted Nov. 17 to uphold the FOIA Coordinator's denial of two Freedom of Information Act requests submitted by Laurie Gardner.
Attorney Joe Urban of Kirk Huth Lange & Badalamenti PLC presented the appeals on Gardner's behalf; the appeals sought (1) redacted information and (2) waiver of a $49.26 fee. Following questions from board members, Jamie Haslem moved to uphold the coordinator's denial and Lindsay Chopp seconded; the motion carried 5–0 with two members absent.
The board directed that written notice affirming the denial be issued to the requester in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act. The meeting record does not state the specific grounds for denial on the public record; the board's action was recorded as an affirmation of the coordinator's previous decision.
