File #		MA-990291-1


Institution/HIC		Waterloo Region District School Board


Summary		The appellant submitted a request to the Waterloo Region District School Board (the Board) under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act ) (the Act ) for access to all costs associated with Outcomes Based Education (OBE) with the Board and its predecessor Board, the Waterloo County Board of Education. The Board responded with the following decision: Further to your request for access to records under [the Act ], it has been determined that fees for staff time to search records and provide photocopies, as provided under Section 45 of the Act, will apply to your request. At this time, the estimated fees for staff search time total $52.50 for records containing summary reports of staff development activities from 1991 to 1994 which may relate to Outcomes Based Education. However, it would be necessary to review all invoices relating to these staff development activities to determine actual expense figures. Our Finance Department staff estimate that it would require approximately 20 hours of staff time to search for invoices submitted for reimbursement during the timeframe noted. The fee for staff search time in accordance with the Act is $7.50 per 15 minutes which would result in an additional charge to you of $600.00, for a total fee estimate of $652.50. The appellant appealed the fee estimate.
