A Michigan judge has ruled that teachers are exempt from FOIA. |
The ruling:Although Michigan public schools are subject to public records requests, its teachers are not, a judge ruled last week. The state’s Freedom of Information Act does not apply to teachers, because they are employees and not the “public body,” the Michigan judge concluded. More FOIA requests: Schools have seen an influx of FOIA requests regarding critical race theory and other diversity teachings, and some school board candidates staked their campaigns against them.
Other courts news: Former Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Director Nick Lyon is asking a state court to affirm the decision to dismiss criminal charges against him despite an appeal by Flint water prosecutors. |
