Access to Public Records and Personnel Files (Room WI Center 102 DE)

23 Jan 19
1:30 PM - 2:30 PM

Tracks: School Law

School districts are frequently subject to public records requests, and districts face significant liability if they do not respond in a timely and accurate manner. This session will cover the basics of Wisconsin’s public records law with a special emphasis on responding to requests for information contained in employee personnel files, including records that are being maintained in response to an investigation into alleged employee misconduct. Questions from attendees are welcome and, time permitting, this session will briefly cover the basics of Wisconsin’s records retention law as well.
