Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

Penncrest SD v. Cagle, T., Aplt.

August 19, 2025

Summary

Justice Wecht dissents, arguing that the Commonwealth Court improperly added extra, non‑statutory factors to the Right‑to‑Know Law’s two‑part test for determining whether a Facebook post is a record. He maintains that the statutory test alone, focused on the content of the communication, is sufficient. Accordingly, he would reverse the lower court and require Penncrest School District to disclose the Facebook posts.
