Many Florida Pulbic Agencies Flunk Simple Open Records Test
TaMaryn Waters walked into the Jefferson County School District offices with a simple request: She wanted a copy of the most recent e-mail the superintendent sent school board members about the district budget.
But it wasn't so simple. What she found was a staff that was confused and suspicious and a superintendent who didn't understand public record laws. Waters never told them who she was, but a week later the secretary called her and admitted the staff tracked her down by running her license plate number.
