Exemptions.

(1) The Public Records Act provides that a number of types of documents are exempt from public inspection and copying. In addition, documents are exempt from disclosure if any "other statute" exempts or prohibits disclosure. Requestors should be aware of the following exemptions, outside the Public Records Act, that restrict the availability of some documents held by the commission for inspection and copying:
(a) Examination test scores;
(b) Teacher, student, or public employee information that would constitute an invasion of privacy as defined in RCW 42.56.210;
(c) Preliminary drafts, notes, recommendations and intra-agency memorandums not publicly cited by the commission in connection with any commission action.
Pursuant to RCW 42.56.070, the commission reserves the right to delete identifying details when it makes available or publishes any public record when there is reason to believe that disclosure of such details would be an unreasonable invasion of personal privacy: Provided, however, in each case, the justification for the deletion shall be explained fully in writing.
(2) The commission is prohibited by statute from disclosing lists of individuals for commercial purposes.
