Institution/HIC		Frontenac County Board of Education


Summary		The Frontenac County Board of Education (the Board) received a request under the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (the Act ) for access to copies of records related to the Board's Values, Influences and Peers (V.I.P.) program. The Board responded to the request by providing a fee estimate of $20.00 to the requester and requiring payment of a deposit of $10.00 "prior to proceeding with the request". The requester paid the deposit and, in response, the Board provided the requester with records responsive to part of the request. The Board subsequently sent an invoice to the requester for $53.60, representing the balance owing for the completion of the search and preparation of the request. The requester appealed the amount of the fee charged by the Board and the Board's claim that no additional records exist. Mediation was not successful and notice that an inquiry was being conducted to review the Board's decision was sent to the appellant and the Board. Representations were received from both parties.
