WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis. (AP) -- A judge has ordered the release of e-mail messages from the workstations of five Wisconsin Rapids School District teachers requested by a Vesper man.

Adams County Circuit Court Judge Charles Pollex, acting as a substitute judge in the Wood County case, says the documents requested by Don Bubolz are open records.

Bubolz said in July he made the request to see if the teachers were doing their job "... the way it's supposed to be done."

Pollex delayed the release for 30 days to allow the teachers an opportunity to appeal.

Jina Jonen, an attorney for the Wisconsin Education Association Council, says a decision will likely come within a few weeks.

Jonen says that, while the teachers have been fighting against the release of the documents, they want to emphasize to the community that they've done nothing wrong.
