Description |
|
 Access to
the public's business is basic to a free and open society, and the
public and the media take very seriously their access to the business
of government. Georgia educators must implement numerous state
and federal statues, regulations, and rules which impact the access
to, and confidentiality of, records and meetings where the public's
business is conducted. The OPEN MEETINGS & OPEN RECORDS
HANDBOOK is designed for educators who are responsible for, or
included in, meetings of boards of education or school councils and
who respond to requests for public records.
