Latest version.
  • (1) All public records as defined by RCW 42.17.020 (26) and (28) prepared, owned, used, or retained by the superintendent of public instruction shall be available for public inspection and copying during normal office hours in the office where they are located, except for the following:
    (a) Personal information in files maintained by the superintendent of public instruction to the extent that disclosure would violate any individual's right to privacy.
    (b) Preliminary drafts, notes, recommendations, and intra-agency memorandums in which opinions are expressed or policies formulated or recommended, except that a specific record shall not be exempt when publicly cited by the agency in connection with any agency action.
    (c) Records which are relevant to a controversy to which the agency is a party but which records would not be available to another party under the rules of pretrial discovery for causes pending in the superior courts.
    (d) Any other information which is exempt from public inspection under RCW 42.17.310 where disclosure would violate personal privacy or vital government interests.
    (2) The exemptions of this section shall be inapplicable to the extent that information, the disclosure of which would violate personal privacy or vital government interests, can be deleted from the specific records sought. No exception shall be construed to permit the nondisclosure of statistical information when such information is not descriptive of any readily identifiable person or persons.
