SECTION 5. RECORDS CONTAINING A COMBINATION OF BOTH EXEMPT AND NON-EXEMPT MATERIALS 5.1 When exempt and non-exempt materials are combined, the District is responsible for separating the exempt from the non-exempt information and for supplying the non- exempt record. The Public Records Law prohibits denying access based on the fact that the record contains both types of materials. 5.2 Even if an exemption applies to a record, the law allows disclosure of statistical information that does not identify any particular Person. SECTION 6. PROCEDURES FOR REQUESTING PUBLIC RECORDS 6.1 Every Person has a right to examine or to have a copy of a School District Record of this District, which records are open to inspection during normal working hours. Although the Public Records Law allows this District to require written requests for information, it is this District s policy to waive the formal requirement in those cases where the information requested is readily available and routinely provided by this District. 6.2 Under some circumstances, however, this District may ask the individual or organization seeking the information to put the request in Writing, and to provide the individuals or organization s name, mailing address, and telephone number. Those circumstances include instances when uncertainty exists over what the individual wants, when uncertainty exists over whether the information requested is protected or privileged, or when compiling or copying the information requested is anticipated to be unduly time- consuming or difficult. 6.3 The law prohibits asking why the information is needed, except to verify the identity of a Person requesting a record to ensure that the requested record or information will not be used for purposes of a mailing or telephone list prohibited by Idaho Code Section This District is permitted to explain what records are available and to help identify the material that is desired. This District is also permitted to allow the Person to examine non-exempt files in order to select the specific records needed. 6.4 The right to copy a District record includes the right to make photographs, or photographic, or other Copies while the records are in the possession of the Custodian of the District records, using equipment provided by the District or using equipment designated by the Custodian. The Custodian of the District records shall give a Person, on demand, a certified copy of a record that is not exempt from copying or is able to be copied, or shall furnish a reasonable opportunity to Inspect or copy such record.

6 Page 6 of Staff must maintain vigilance to see that records are not altered or destroyed, but the law prohibits examination of any copy, photograph, or notes in the Person s possession. 6.6 The Custodian shall not review, examine or scrutinize any copy, photograph, or memorandum in the possession of any such Person or of any Person requesting a copy and shall extend to that Person all reasonable comfort and facility for the full exercise of the right granted to copy such records. 6.7 A request for records, whether submitted informally or in writing, must be granted or denied within three (3) working days. The designated Custodians are authorized to determine that a request cannot be fulfilled within three (3) working days. If more than three (3) working days are needed to locate or retrieve the records, the individual seeking the records will be requested to submit a written request. The request must be granted or denied in whole or in part within ten (10) working days. Provided that, if it is determined that a requested electronic record exists but must first be converted to another electronic format, and that such conversion cannot be completed within ten (10) days, the Custodian shall notify the individual requesting the record in Writing. The District shall provide the converted Public Record at a time mutually agreed upon between the District and the requesting party, with due consideration given to any limitations that may exist due to the process of conversion, or the use of a third party to make the conversion. 6.8 If no answer is provided by this District within ten (10) working days, the request will be deemed to have been denied. 6.9 A Person s right to Inspect and amend records appertaining to that Person, does not include a right of that Person to review otherwise exempt investigatory records of the District. If the investigation is ongoing, or if the information is compiled and is in reasonable anticipation of civil action or proceeding, which is not otherwise discoverable in a court of law or is otherwise exempt from disclosure by State or Federal law. SECTION 7. MEDIA REQUESTS 7.1 All requests by the media, i.e., interviews, information, must be referred to the District Office. The Superintendent or designee will be the first responder for media inquiries. All requests for exemption from applicable fees are subject to review under Section 9 of this Policy. SECTION 8. DISTRIBUTION OR SALE OF MAILING OR TELEPHONE NUMBERS LISTS PROHIBITED 8.1 This District will not distribute or sell for use as a mailing list or a telephone number list any list of Persons, including students and employees, without first securing the permission of those individuals named on the list. This District will verify the identity of a Person requesting a record to ensure that the requested record or information will not be used for purposes of a mailing or telephone list.

7 Page 7 of 10 SECTION 9. COSTS FOR PROVIDING PUBLIC RECORDS 9.1 The Public Records Law permits this District to charge for the actual cost of copying records or for providing a duplicate computer tape, computer disc, microfilm, or similar or analogous record system containing the Public Record information requested. The District s actual cost of conversion, if the existing record is converted to another electronic form, may be charged to the requesting party. The copying fee schedule will be made available to those individuals requesting Copies and will be updated from time to time as necessary to reflect the actual copying costs to the District. 9.2 The fee charged for providing information in the form of computer tapes, disks, microfilm, or similar record media, may not exceed the amount of the direct cost of copying. If the information is also available in publication form, the District may offer the published material to the individual or organization at the standard cost of selling the publication. 9.3 This District may also charge, at the discretion of the Custodian of the records, the actual labor cost, which will include the hourly wage and cost of benefits of the employee associated with locating and copying documents when: The request is for more than one hundred (100) pages of paper records; or The request includes records from which nonpublic information must be deleted; or The actual labor, as defined above, associated with locating and copying documents for a request exceeds two (2) Person hours Public Record Fee Schedule: Copying Costs, per page [over 100 pages] $.15 Administrative fee for requests which involve labor costs for more than 100 pages, or include records from which non-public information must be deleted, or when $25.00 per hour actual labor associated with locating and copying documents exceeds two (2) person-hours [not including time for preparing first 100 pages] Attorney fee for requests requiring redactions $ per hour Duplication of computer tape, computer disks, microfilm, or similar or analogous record system Actual costs incurred 9.4 This District may require advance payment of the photocopying charges for major copying work. A decision on whether to require advance payment will be made by a Custodian of the records. 9.5 The Custodian or designated employee, who administers the District s response to a request for examination or copying, may choose to allow the staff, as time permits, to transmit a small number of District records via facsimile or electronic mail upon the condition that the requesting Person pay the telecommunications charges.

8 Page 8 of No cost or fees for Copies or labor will be charged by this District when the requester demonstrates, to the Superintendent s satisfaction in consultation with the School District s legal counsel, each of the following are present: The requester's examination and/or copying of public records is likely to contribute significantly to the public's understanding of the operations or activities of the government; The requester's examination and/or copying of public records is not primarily in the individual interest of the requester including, but not limited to, the requester's interest in litigation in which the requester is or may become a party; and The requester's examination and/or copying of public records will not occur if fees are charged because the requester has insufficient financial resources to pay such fees. 9.7 When necessary, a designated Custodian may authorize an examination of records to be done outside of regular working hours. In this event, the Persons designated to represent the Custodian during such examination will be entitled to reasonable compensation to be paid to them out of funds provided in advance by the Person examining the records. 9.8 If there is a request to mail Copies of documents to an individual, the Custodian may request advanced payment for the Copies and a stamped, self-addressed envelope large enough for the number of Copies. If the information requested is unusual, or if there is confusion about what is being sought, the individual may be asked to submit the request in writing, along with advance payment for Copies and a stamped, self-addressed envelope large enough for the number of Copies. If it is deemed unnecessary to receive a written request, advance payment or a selfaddressed, stamped envelope, any or all of the requirements may be waived. Any questions should be referred to a Custodian of the records. SECTION 10. INSPECTION AND CORRECTION OF AN INDIVIDUAL S RECORDS 10.1 An individual may Inspect, copy, and request correction of Public Records pertaining to that Person, except those portions of records that are exempt from disclosure. Such requests will be referred to a designated Custodian immediately. A correction, or a written refusal to make the correction, must be made within ten (10) calendar days If a request to correct an individual s record is denied, written notification is required within ten (10) calendar days of the receipt of the request. A notice of refusal to amend a record must state the reasons for the refusal, and provide the statement of appeal rights and certificate of mailing as set forth below.

9 Page 9 of 10 SECTION 11. DENIAL OF REQUESTS 11.1 If there is any doubt about whether information should be disclosed, the Person who is making the request will be asked to submit that request in Writing. The written request will immediately be directed to a designated Custodian If a request for a record is denied in whole or in part, the Person making the request must be notified in Writing. This notice must include: A statement that an attorney for the District has reviewed the request, or that the District had the opportunity to consult with an attorney and has chosen not to do so; The statutory basis for the denial; A simple statement of the right to appeal and the time limit for an appeal A certificate of mailing must accompany the notice The time limit for filing an appeal is one hundred eighty (180) days from the date the notice of denial is mailed. The sole remedy for protesting the District s decision is to file a petition in the District court of the county where the records or some part of them are located, requesting the court to compel the District to make the information available or to correct the record When a request is denied, the requested records must be retained until the end of the appeal period, until there has been a decision on an appeal, or as otherwise provided by the Public Records Law, whichever is longer. Whenever a request is denied, there must be some indication made on the record that it must not be purged without the approval of a designated Custodian. SECTION 12. PENALTY AND IMMUNITY 12.1 The Public Records Law provides a penalty of up to one thousand dollars ($1,000) for deliberate, bad faith denial of information that should be disclosed. The Public Records Law also provides immunity from liability for the release of records as long as there is a good-faith attempt to comply with the law s requirements. Therefore, it is important that any questions or any requests that seem doubtful be immediately referred to a designated Custodian.
