P1092 In a petition under the Public Records Act (Government Code sections 6250 et seq.) for access to the report of an investigation into allegations of misconduct by the superintendent and received in confidence by the district, potential harm to the superintendent's privacy interest did not outweigh the public's interest in understanding why he was exonerated and how the district treated the accusations and so did not prevent disclosure; records that named students interviewed in connection with the investigation were not pupil records exempt from disclosure under the Education Code, so disclosure should have been ordered with directions that the names of students, parents, and staff members who were interviewed be redacted.CitationBRV v SUPERIOR COURT (Superintendent's Misconduct) 143 CA4 742 [See: GovC 6250 etseq; EdC 49061, 49076; Owasso v Falvo 534 US 426; Poway USD v Superior Court 62 CA4 1496, T/AT 5/98]
