Waukesha County Watch isn’t afraid to challenge school systems, administrators, school boards, or any government agency when they violate the law, especially FOIA/Public Records Laws. As citizens, we have a legal right to open public records, and government agencies have a legal obligation to abide by the law. The Wisconsin Public Records Law, codified as Wis.
