M. Personnel records.

With respect to other information in personnel records, the Arizona Supreme Court has found that individuals’ privacy interests can put portions of public personnel files beyond the reach of A.R.S. § 39-121 if those interests outweigh the public’s right of inspection.  See Scottsdale Unified School Dist., 191 Ariz. at 302-03, 955 P.2d at 539-40 (determining that the public interest in disclosure of the teachers’ birth dates was speculative and did not override the privacy interest of the teachers); Bolm, 193 Ariz. at 39-40, 969 P.2d at 204-05 (finding that the trial court appropriately concluded that the police department’s hiring and official records, but not personnel evaluations or internal affairs records, were subject to disclosure).
