The complainant has requested minutes of Board of Governors meetings from Banbridge High School. The School disclosed the information to the complainant, having redacted some third party personal information. Section 40(2) by virtue of section 40(3)(a)(i) was the basis for redaction. The Commissioner finds that the School has correctly applied section 40(2) of FOIA to the redacted information. The Commissioner also finds that the School has breached section 17(1) of FOIA as it failed to specify the exemption under which it was redacting the information. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
