Public Official Surety Bond requests fall under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552, The Sunshine Act 5 U.S.C. § 552b, New York Freedom of Information Law (FOIL), and by law you are obligated to supply me with this information.

Douglas Lloyd,
I have received your request dated January 31, 2022 for various documents
relating to official undertakings of school district officials. While
the majority of your legal citations are irrelevant, the District does
recognize your request for documents pursuant to New York State’s Freedom
of Information Law (FOIL). To the extent the documents exist, the
district will make copies and provide them to you within the next 20 days,
unless circumstances arise requiring the District to take longer.
Thank You,

Hello Ryan - Thank you for your response. All legal citations are to ensure I receive the documents required depending on how and where the bond is covered. I've been finding most public official bonds in NYS are covered by the Faithful Performance rider in the Crime and Fidelity insurance policy. I hope this helps minimize any confusion and expedite this request.

Thank you Mr. Palmer - Could you provide the oaths of offices for the current board members and I'll mark this as completed?
Also, is it possible to include oaths of offices for Superintendent and Treasurer? Or do I need to file an additional request as I did not include in the original?
Your time is greatly appreciated.

Dear Mr. Lloyd,
Attached are the Oaths of Office requested. Please confirm the original
FOIL request is complete. Should you have any further requests, please
send in a separate FOIL request.
