Wash. Admin. Code § 174-276-070 - Records exempt from inspection or copying
(1)
Public Records Act exemptions. The Public Records Act, chapter
42.56 RCW, exempts from inspection or copying certain categories of records as
set forth in the Public Records Act or under other statutes. The public records
officer will disclose the existence of exempt records as required by law, but
will deny the inspection or copying of such records to the extent that the
records are exempt from inspections or copying under the Public Records Act or
other applicable law.
(2)
Commonly applied exemptions. The public records office maintains a
list explaining the exemptions most commonly applied by the college in
processing requests for public records. A copy of the list can be requested
from the public records officer. Relevant exemptions will be provided to the
requestor by the public records officer in responding to a request for records
that are determined in whole or in part to be exempt from inspection or
copying.
(3)
Determining
applicable exemptions. The public records officer may seek information
from the requestor sufficient to determine whether another statute prohibits
disclosure of the requested records. For example, student education records
generally may not be disclosed to third parties without the student's written
consent.
