Exemptions
The Public Records Act provides that a number of types of documents are exempt from disclosure. In addition, documents are exempt if any "other statute" exempts or prohibits disclosure. Requestors should be aware of the following exemptions, outside the Public Records Act, that restrict the availability of some documents held by the District:
RCW 42.30.110(1)(o) – Executive sessions
RCW 70.02.270 – Medical Records
45 CFR § 160-164 – HIPAA privacy rule
Fees
If you wish to get a copy of the records rather than just inspect them, you'll need to make arrangements with the Public Records Officer to pay for copies or scans.
Fees are outlined in our Public Record Request policy.
