Or. Admin. Code § 584-001-0010 - Access to Information in Licensure Files
Oregon law establishes the right of public access to general information in files maintained by public agencies while reserving the right to withhold certain information potentially injurious to the affected party. The Commission makes available to the public information in licensure files subject to the following rules:
(1) General
information available to the public shall include: the person's license type
and status, academic degree(s) and the institutions awarding them, the names
and addresses of verified educational employers, and orders adopted by the
Commission as a result of disciplinary proceedings, if any.
(2) Personal information not routinely
furnished the general public shall include: social security number, the date
and place of birth, home address and telephone number, transcripts of credits
and grades, reports of educational experience that include personal comments,
and other forms or papers containing personal opinions about the educator.
(3) All requests for general
information shall be in writing, with the exception of requests covered by
subsection (7) of this rule.
(4)
With the exception of requests covered by subsection (7) of this rule, a charge
of $5 shall be made to process a written request for general information.
(5) All requests for personal
information shall be in writing, with the exception of requests covered by
subsection (7) of this rule, and shall provide clear and convincing evidence of
public interest in disclosure or a showing that disclosure of the record will
not constitute an unreasonable invasion of privacy. Upon receipt of a request
for personal information, the Executive Director shall notify the educator by
certified and first class mail that personal information has been requested and
that he or she has an opportunity to show that making disclosure as requested
will unreasonably invade privacy. The Executive Director shall determine, based
on the evidence of public interest and showing of unreasonable invasion of
privacy, whether exemption from disclosure is justified and shall release the
record or deny the request for disclosure.
(6) With exception of requests covered by
subsection (7) of this rule, a charge of $15 shall be made to process a written
request for personal information.
(7) General and personal information in
licensure files may be provided by letter, telephone or facsimile, at no cost,
to the director of teacher education or his or her designee at a teacher
education institution, a school district superintendent or personnel officer,
or an Oregon judge or district attorney.
