After FOIA battle with teacher, county schools relent
"Mark Crockett is no stranger to public records. The teacher at Western Albemarle High School has used salary information to compare pay raises for the district’s administrators and teachers and has sifted documents to challenge a consultant who concluded teachers didn’t value an early retirement incentive program. But as the state celebrated government transparency with Sunshine Week March 15-21, Crockett learned Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act doesn’t free all information equally.
Crocket wanted to read anonymous comments from a survey conducted last fall by the Albemarle County Public Schools’ Quality Council in order to assess attitudes about school leadership. Numeric results were released in February, but Crockett wanted a closer look at the comments."
