(1) EHB 1595 requires state agencies to make available for inspection and copying nonexempt "public records" in accordance with published rules. In compliance, this chapter is approved and adopted by the board of directors of Washington state school directors' association (WSSDA) to inform, facilitate, and regulate the collection of allowed charges for public records requests.

(2) These rules will be interpreted in favor of disclosure. Prompt assistance to the public shall be provided without affecting WSSDA's primordial mission of providing leadership, advocacy, and empowerment to its members.
