Plaintiffs,
vs.

Case No. 16-CV-525-JHP-FHM

INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT
NO. 1 OF DELAWARE COUNTY,
OKLAHOMA,
Defendant.
OPINION AND ORDER
The Motion for Protective Order filed by Defendant, [Dkt. 21], is before the
undersigned United States Magistrate Judge for decision.
The parties agree that a protective order is necessary in this case, but have
requested changes to the court’s standard protective order. The parties are unable to
agree on the wording or necessity of the proposed changes.
Except for the inclusion of the proposed footnote to §1(b), concerning the
requirements of the FERPA, the court finds that the parties have not demonstrated the
need to alter the language of the standard protective order. The court finds that the
language used in the court’s standard protective order, “other types of sensitive
information,” is broad enough to include the matters at issue in this case. In the event a
disagreement arises about the designation or use of specific materials under the protective
order, after conferring in good faith, the parties may bring the concrete dispute to the
court’s attention for resolution.

The Motion for Protective Order, [Dkt. 21], is GRANTED in part, and DENIED, in
part. The court’s standard protective order will be entered, including the aforementioned
footnote.
SO ORDERED this 24th day of February, 2017.
