If it would be possible, I am okay with delaying the date of the other two requests to get this one first. I understand that they present a significant burden to compile all of the documents, and this one seems to be the simplest to return as it is presumably composed of documents you already have in full. Thank you so much for your help.

Dear Pseudo Nym:
This letter is sent as a follow up to your February 4, 2022 Freedom of
Information Law (“FOIL”) request which was acknowledged by this office on
February 11, 2022.
Your FOIL request seeks copies of the following District records: “*GNTA
contacts 2008 to 2018 and the current B&G and maintenance contacts.” *The
District has reviewed its records for documents responsive to your request
that are subject to disclosure pursuant to the Freedom of Information Law.
Please be advised that your request has been granted and the documents
responsive to your request are attached hereto.
However, the earlier GNTA contracts for 2006-2009 and 2009-2011 are only
available as hard-copies, and we will therefore need to charge the
statutorily permitted fee of $0.25 per page for duplication of records
requested under FOIL. The charge will be $30. Check should be made payable
to “Great Neck Public Schools” and can be mailed to:
Great Neck Public Schools

If prompted for a passcode, please enter:

Would it be possible to mail them instead?
From: Pseudo Nym
Dear Kuniko Langel,
Just following up on the request to mail the documents. Also, when looking at the documents given the district from the December 14, 2021, I do not see any GNTA contracts from 2016-2018 even though the request asks for the current and most recent contracts. However, there is a GNTA contract provided from 2011-2015. Was there just no contract from 2016-2018, or was there some mistake either my end in receiving the contract or your end in uploading it?
Thanks,
Pseudo Nym
