Public Records Policy

 

It is the policy of the Ohio School Facilities Commission (OSFC) that openness leads to a better informed citizenry, which leads to better government and better public policy. It is the policy of OSFC to strictly adhere to the state’s Public Records Act, to construe possible exemptions to the Records Act in their narrowest sense, and to present an explanation of any denial of public records in response.
