8350 - CONFIDENTIALITY

It is the policy of the Board of Education that when the District receives in trust from a public agency information identified as confidential (whether such information is confidential by Ohio Law, Common Law, Privilege, Case Law, or Federal Law), the Board will maintain the confidentiality of said information to the maximum extent permitted by the law.

This policy applies only to identified confidential information received from a public agency.

In order to prohibit the unauthorized disclosure of information identified as confidential by the sending public agency, the Board may seek to obtain court protection by:

 A.denying requests for release of such information absent subpoena or court order;

 B.pursuing motions to quash, or protective orders to prohibit, unauthorized disclosure.

When possible, the Board will attempt to notify the sending public agency of the request for release of such information prior to complying with the request.
