Book excerpt: If a public record qualifies as a personnel record, it may be closed pursuant to K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 45-221(a)(4), with the exception of the information noted therein. However, not every public record concerning public employees automatically qualifies as a personnel record. Public records may be closed pursuant to K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 45-221(a)(30) when public disclosure would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. Closure under this subsection may not occur if the elements of invasion of privacy are not present, if the invasion of privacy can be eliminated by deleting the identifying personal information pursuant to K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 45-221(d), by providing statistical information pursuant to K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 45-221(e), or if the individual whose privacy interest is at risk consents to the disclosure. Closure under K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 45-221(a)(4) or (a)(30) is discretionary not mandatory. Cited herein: K.S.A. 45-215; 45-216; 45-217; K.S.A. 1990 Supp. 45-221.
