OPINION BY
Judge LEAVITT.
Chester Community Charter School (Charter School) appeals an order of the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas (trial court) directing Charter School to produce a number of salary and contract documents requested by a newspaper reporter, Daniel Hardy, on behalf of The Philadelphia Inquirer. In doing so, the trial court affirmed a decision of the Pennsylvania Office of Open Records (OOR) that the records were subject to disclosure even though they were in the possession of a private party that had contracted with Charter School. Discerning no error, we affirm.
