The E-mails being public is serious. I get E-mails from teachers where the
school system has appended a note saying that they are public records. In
other words if a parent asks for information about their children, you can
not supply it in an E-mail. Written information can be more carefully
worded than verbal info. So the alternative is to send a note home, but you
do not have any assurance that it will arrive.
While teacher's E-mails could be perused by administrators in case of a
conflict, they should not be public records. And if this sort of thing is
to be a public record, then the legislators mails should also be public
records. The point is that they should grant the same privacy rights to
others that they themselves demand.
