[SIZE=2][FONT=Calibri]They will never get the names, because, as you rightly point out, that is protected by both federal and state statute. However, [/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=2][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=#000000] I do not think it is necessary to get names if they can get information relating to the tutoring program for example. That information is not "personally identifiable information" and is not protected.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]In NC everybody has standing to get public information - you do not need a reason and, in fact, do not even have to state one in your request. I have used the law several times in real estate zoning transactions and the info is given up without a whimper because the law is so specific in that regard. Media use it all the time in NC - reporters even do it in their personal names.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]The courts in NC are pretty poos compared to NYS. At any rate the NC Supreme Court would never reverse this decision.[/SIZE][/FONT]
