Request sought Agency records concerning the hiring process for the head football coaching position. The Agency provided responsive information during the pendency of the appeal. The Agency failed to demonstrate the Request is insufficiently specific. The Agency did not prove a portion of the withheld records are unresponsive to the Request. The Agency appropriately redacted and withheld employment applications and the names of candidates not hired by the Agency. The Agency did not appropriately withhold written criticisms of an Agency employee or internal, predecisional deliberative records. The Agency demonstrated that additional responsive records do not exist in the Agency's possession, custody or control. Granted in part, denied in part and dismissed as moot in part.
