District Won’t Provide Documents

For the last five months, The Gazette has been requesting copies of documents from the Roseville Joint Union High School District about a complaint filed against the district by a Granite Bay High School parent.
The district has resisted and fought The Gazette’s requests.
But several experts, including a Sacramento attorney who represents professional newspapers in California, say the district is not in compliance with state law regarding access to public records, and the school district could be legally liable for its failure to comply.
A complaint was filed last fall against a GBHS teacher and administrators on behalf of GBHS senior Carson Schmidley by his parents.
The Gazette filed several requests with the district for a copy of the complaint. All the requests were eventually denied.
Jim Ewert, an attorney for the California Newspaper Publishers Association in Sacramento, advises member newspapers about various laws that affect access to both public meetings and government-related information.
