Responsive to this request, and per clarification to narrow to William Barnes as well as exclude those where Brian Bassett was a participant, attached are those emails we have reviewed and prepared for release from a search of the @hcpss mailbox for Mr. Barnes between November 25, 2019, and December 6, 2019, where the keywords “IEP” or “504” were included. Exemptions found within these records include:
 Under MPIA GP § 4-330, we have redacted sociological information where it contains personal phone numbers and/or has the potential to pose a risk to individual
safety or privacy.
 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.
 An additional redaction found on page 18 is for non-responsive content unrelated to the transaction of HCPSS business such as a personal matter.
Additional time would be needed to review/release remaining content under this search.

*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.
