Terms of teachers' contracts which are mandatorily negotiable are listed in K.S.A. 72-5413(1).

Accordingly, the date by which a teacher must notify the board of education of his decision not to continue is not negotiable and cannot be modified by contract.

The Kansas Open Records Act, K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 45-215 et seq., does not require a public agency to prepare a report in a particular form to satisfy a request for information. A public agency is only required to make available to the public those records which it makes, maintains, keeps or possesses. Further, a public agency is not required to prepare a statistical report based on information contained in records exempted under K.S.A. 1985 Supp. 44-221(a), as disclosure of these records is discretionary with the agency.
