Following discussions to narrow emails to those containing BLM or Black Lives Matter, please find attached such emails to or from Board of Education members between January 7 and 25, 2019. Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), which restricts access to student records, and MPIA GP § 4-313, which prevents disclosure of school district records pertaining to individual students, we have redacted information that could reveal individual student information from the responsive records. Under MPIA GP § 4-330, we have redacted sociological information where it contains personal phone numbers, addresses, or has the potential to pose a risk to individual privacy.
