MO-1938

A request was submitted to the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board (the Board) under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act) for access to information regarding the requester and his daughter relating to an incident that occurred at a school, resulting in an injury to the daughter. Specifically, the request was for all information including copies of notes taken during meetings, telephone conversations and discussions with Board employees regarding his daughter, her injury, or school conduct and policy concerns. The request was also for "all notes taken during interviews of co-students in regards to [the daughter’s] injury." The request identified that it was for questions only, and not the children’s responses.

The Board located responsive records and denied access to them on the basis that they are exempt under section 12 (solicitor-client privilege) of the Act.
