“The Department of Education’s legal department has determined that the documents are in the ‘Pre-Decisional Status,’ and we’re unable to allow you to examine them.”
–Department of Education (DOE) Public Information Officer Sarah Mulhearn, in a telephone call to LouisianaVoice on Monday after agreeing last week to allow LouisianaVoice to examine copies of all applications for vouchers/scholarships received by DOE. She was asked to send the department’s reasons to LouisianaVoice via email but thus far, has not complied despite verbally agreeing to do so. (There is no provision in R.S. 44:1, the state’s Public Records Statute, for excluding public documents from view for something called the “Pre-Decisional Status.”)

We seem to continue to change any rule that will not benefit our cause.
The Leaders of this (state) do not relate to Accountability and Transparency. What is wrong with our laws?
