Question: Is the custodian’s decision to release the requested records consistent with the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)?

Brief Response: In my opinion, the custodian has correctly classified the citizen-complaint form as a personnel record that is subject to release. The custodian has also properly classified the disciplinary records as employee-evaluation records. And because the four-part test for release of employee-evaluation records appears to be met, the custodian’s decision to release those records is also consistent with the FOIA.
