Response Notes

As advised in the Fourteenth Edition of the Maryland Public Information Act Manual created by Maryland’s Office of the Attorney General, “an agency has no obligation to create records to satisfy a PIA request.” Therefore, under the MPIA process itself, HCPSS is not required to further clarify information, such as the dates, times and names of who was contacted for the position of Acting Superintendent. The existing record the Board indicates addressed these questions was the previously provided email dated July 5, 2017.

*Some request language is summarized to include the requester's specific document requests and legally protected information (such as personally identifiable information of a student) or personal, defamatory and malicious content removed at the discretion of the school system.

**Responses containing legally protected information available only to the person of interest are omitted from the above report.

***Howard County Public Schools reserves the right to remove erroneous or outdated documents from this site.
