Dear FOIL Appeals Officer,

I am writing to appeal the denial of my New York Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request submitted on August 5, 2022, for copies of signed and notarized oaths of office for district employees or contractors with specific leadership credentials from October 15, 2017, until the date the request is fulfilled.

It has been brought to my attention that the requested information should not require a FOIL request to obtain. Despite this, I have submitted a formal FOIL request and have followed up multiple times with no response from the district. The dates of my follow-ups are as follows:

August 9, 2022
August 24, 2022
September 16, 2022
October 3, 2022
October 18, 2022
November 2, 2022
November 17, 2022
December 2, 2022
December 19, 2022
January 3, 2023

March 6, 2023
March 21, 2023
April 5, 2023
April 20, 2023
May 5, 2023

The lack of response and communication from the City School District of Albany exhibits a pattern of deferral and avoidance, which is in direct violation of the spirit and intent of the Freedom of Information Law. I am deeply disappointed and frustrated with the district's continuous disregard for transparency and the legal obligations set forth by FOIL.

I hereby request that you review the handling of my FOIL request and provide the requested documents without further delay. Under FOIL, I am entitled to a determination on this appeal within ten business days.
