Commonwealth Court enjoins release of school employees' home addresses

In an order dated July 28, 2009, Commonwealth Court Senior Judge Rochelle S. Friedman granted a preliminary injunction prohibiting the release of home addresses of public school employees. | The Court also ordered the Office of Open Records to notify public school districts of the ruling. The Court's opinion will apparently be posted at a later date. Obviously, this ruling is very significant in terms of the new Right to Know Law. Although the Law exempts from disclosure home addresses of law enforcement, judges, and minors, it does not exempt home addresses generally.
