Subject: Appeal for NYS FOIL Request – FOIL Logs (City School District of Albany)

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing to appeal the non-responsive status of my New York Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request dated August 5, 2022, regarding the logs of all Freedom of Information Law requests submitted to the City School District of Albany since January 1, 2016, or as far back as such records are kept.

Despite multiple follow-up emails, I have not received any substantive response or acknowledgment from your office. Pursuant to New York's Freedom of Information Law, public authorities are required to respond to FOIL requests within five business days, either by providing the requested information, denying the request, or providing a written acknowledgment of receipt with an estimated time for a full response. As of today, it has been more than eight months since I submitted my request, and I have not received any of these required responses.

The information sought is of significant public interest, as it pertains to the transparency and accountability of the City School District of Albany in processing and responding to Freedom of Information Law requests. The general public has a right to know how the district is handling these requests and whether it is fulfilling its obligations under the law.

I kindly request that you expedite the processing of my FOIL request and provide the requested information as soon as possible. If you determine that some or all of the requested information is exempt from disclosure, please provide a detailed explanation for the exemption, as required by law. Furthermore, if you determine that providing the requested information would entail fees, kindly inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to your prompt response.
