RE: Public Records Request
Hello Mr. White,

Respectfully, I have responded to your request in accordance with state law and OSBGE administrative rule. I have nothing further to add.

Per the Oregon Dept. of Justice Attorney General's Public Records and Meetings Manual (2024, p. 6) which state agencies are generally directed to follow:

"The Public Records Law does not require public bodies to create new public records. Nor does it require public bodies to disclose the reasoning behind their actions; answer questions about their records; analyze their records; or perform legal research in order to identify records that are responsive to a request."

Sincerely,

[Board Administrator], Board Administrator, OSBGE
