Not for the faint of heart, we will explore the complexities of fulfilling TPIA requests. This webinar is for those who possess a working understanding of the PIA. We'll dig into complex information requests including those asking for information not stereo-typically considered “school records” such as administer or board member personal emails and text messages.

This webinar session is being presented by April Philley, a former Assistant Attorney General, who can provide first-hand advice and practical tips – everything you ever wanted to know about the TPIA.

Topics:

• What exactly is the Public Information Act?
• What is a valid request for information?
• Rules and deadlines for responding to requests
• What can I charge requestors for?
• How to redact information without a ruling from the AG
• Requesting an Attorney General opinion
• What happens when you request an opinion from the AG
• Common exceptions to the Public Information Act
• When third party notifications are required
