Responsive to this request, and per clarification on the timeframe, please find attached a list of those employees who held the position of Student Assistant after February 2023 and previously held the position of Interim Student Support Staff prior to that time. Under MPIA GP § 4-311, which prevents disclosure of personnel records of an individual, we are unable to release letters from an employee file. Furthermore, the MPIA Manual indicates that “no amount of redaction will enable an agency to comply with a request for personnel records of a specific State employee because, even if ‘identifying information’ is redacted, the documents provided would still constitute the personnel records of the individual who is the subject of the request.”

*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.
