00-ORD-005 is cited to support the principle that confidentiality clauses in settlement agreements involving public funds do not inherently create a right to privacy that can exempt them from the statutory mandate for disclosure under the Open Records Act. The decision discusses how the Danville Independent School District's argument for nondisclosure based on a confidentiality clause was rejected, emphasizing the public's right to access information regarding the use of public funds.
