Seattle Teachers' Union Sues to Prevent Disclosure of Emails

The Stranger reports that the Seattle teachers' union is suing to prevent the disclosure of emails on the Seattle School District's computers. The union seems to be claiming that the emails among union members (which are on the school district's email system) are not public records. A judge issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting disclosure for the time being.
