The Complainant alleged that the School Department violated the APRA by withholding two documents responsive to his request for certain final actions taken with respect to investigative processes. This Office determined that it was permissible for the School Department to withhold one responsive document where the privacy interests implicated by disclosure outweighed any public interest and where redaction could not sufficiently address the privacy interests. This Office found that the School Department violated the APRA by withholding a second document in its entirety, and determined that the School Department should provide Complainant with this document because the public interests in disclosure outweighed the privacy interests, but that the School Department may redact the name of the employee and other personally identifiable information. We did not find evidence of a willful and knowing, or reckless, violation. VIOLATION FOUND.
