Wash. Admin. Code § 495C-276-110 - Review of denials of public records requests
(1) Any person who objects to the denial of a
request for a public record may petition for prompt review of such decision by
tendering a written request for review. The written request shall specifically
refer to the written statement which constituted or accompanied the
denial.
(2) The written request by
a person demanding prompt review of a decision denying a public record shall be
submitted to the president or designee.
(3) Within two business days after receiving
the written request by a person petitioning for a prompt review of a decision
denying a public record, the president or designee, shall complete such
review.
(4) During the course of
the review the president or designee shall consider the obligations of the
district to comply with the intent of chapter 42.17 RCW insofar as it requires
providing full public access to official records, but shall also consider the
exemptions provided in RCW 42.17.310 or other pertinent statutes, and the
provisions of the statute which require the district to protect public records
from damage or disorganization, prevent excessive interference with essential
functions of the agency, and prevent any unreasonable invasion of personal
privacy by deleting identifying details.
