FOIA Requests. In the event that the District receives a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for the personnel file(s) of any employee(s), the administration shall notify the Union in a timely manner. Upon request and insofar as time reasonably permits, the Board’s designated FOIA office shall meet with the affected employee and/or the employee’s representatives to review the Board’s proposed response to the request. In order to allow the employee and the Union to seek legal relief, the Board may delay granting the request to the extent permitted by law. Consideration shall be given to the employee’s privacy interests and all available Freedom of Information Act exemptions to compelled disclosure and viewing of information. This provision shall not prevent the Union from having access to any employment records related to its duties as the exclusive bargaining representative.
