Document		M-277


File #		M-9300248


Institution/HIC		East Parry Sound Board of Education


Summary		The East Parry Sound Board of Education (the Board) received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act ) for access to the contract entered into between the Board and a named consulting firm for the 1992-1993 school year. The requester expressed a particular interest in the monetary value of the contract. The Board located the agreement which was responsive to the request but denied access to the record "under the Freedom of Information Act". The Board did not, however, indicate which exemption it was relying upon to withhold this document from disclosure. The requester appealed the Board's decision. After the appeal had been filed, the Board issued a new decision letter where it stated that the contract was being withheld pursuant to the exemptions contained in sections 10(1)(a) and 14(1) of the Act . The record at issue in this appeal consists of a three page contract to which is attached a two page appendix. The signatories to the agreement are the Board, the principal of the consulting firm and the Ontario Public School Boards' Association (the Association). The mediation of this appeal was not successful and notice that an inquiry was being conducted to review the Board's decision was sent to the Board, the appellant and to two affected persons (the consulting firm and the Association). Representations were received from all parties except the Association.
