Courage is the most important of all
the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other
virtues consistently. You can't be consistently kind or fair or
humane or generous, not without courage, because if you don't have
it, sooner or later you will stop and say, "The threat is too much.

Bernadette and Nola,
Why are you continuing to seek OAG opinions to
withhold public information when I have
repeatedly asked to work with the district to
avoid the legal expenses and delays associated
with these ruling requests? What is the
solution? Let's work together to improve the
district's transparency.

Yes, if the email addresses are confidential as
defined in 552.137, please redact.
As you know, I have provided my standing
permission to Eanes ISD to redact certain
confidential information such as the
email addresses as defined in 552.137 and social
security numbers and other information as
defined in Section 552.024.
My intent is not to obtain information
that is confidential by law. If you need further
permission to redact information that is
confidential by law, please let me know.
Also, please exclude (from the responsive
documents) information that is posted on the
Eanes ISD website link September 14, 2009 board
study session agenda packet. Here's a link to
that agenda and information for clarification:

Dear Ms. Pharr,
The District has received your request for
public information, and your request has been
assigned TPIA Request No. 1970.
Would you agree to allow me to redact email
addresses of members of the public that are

electronically with a governmental body? (See:
Section 552.137 of the Texas Government Code)
If any of the information contains the home
address, home telephone number, social security
number, and/or family member information of a
public employee or official, that information
will be redacted as allowed by Section 552.024
of the Texas Government Code, assuming that the
