Law The fight for Pulaski phone records
Posted By Max Brantley on Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 6:18 AM
An update to yesterday's item about Stephens Media's complaint to the prosecutor about Pulaski School Superintendent Charles Hopson's failure to turn over phone and e-mail records requested under the FOI. The district said a response to the FOI request from the district's lawyer had inadvertently fallen through the cracks. The district is gathering the e-mails, it said, but contends records of text messages sent on Hopson's cell phone are exempt. Stephens Media disagrees with that legal interpretation.
