Institution/HIC		The Norfolk Board of Education


Summary		The Norfolk Board of Education (the Board) received a ten-part request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act ) for access to records relating to certain personnel and financial matters of the Board. The Board's Director of Education responded to the request as follows: The information which you requested ... would require in excess of two hours time to search and prepare. The estimated time to retrieve the information would be five hours at $20.00 per hour for a total of $100.00. My preliminary review of your request indicates that items 7, 8 and 9 might involve the disclosure of personal information which is likely protected from disclosure under the act. The requester appealed the Board's decision to charge a fee as well as the contemplated denial of access to parts of the requested records. During mediation, the Appeals Officer processing the appeal sent a letter to the Board asking for clarification of its decision. The Board was provided with a copy of Order 81, issued under the provincial Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act , which sets out the obligations of an institution when responding to a request and preparing a fee estimate.
