Dear Requester.

The District does not have a record of you previously making a request. The District’s initial projection is that it will be able to provide responsive documents on or before May 15, 2020. This length of time is required because of the large number of potentially responsive requests which will need to be located and redacted, consistent with applicable laws.

If there is a way to narrow your request in terms of content or scope, that may enable the District to more quickly respond. If there is a subsection of your request that you require more urgently, please let me know and I will do my best to prioritize the District search.

Regards.

Dear Requestor.

The District will need additional time to process your request. The
request has returned thousands of pages of potentially responsive
documents. I have, however, attempted to upload an initial production
including an explanation that the District's new projected date would be
July 20, 2020. I used the link
<https://www.muckrock.com/
in your initial email. Can you confirm receipt of those files?

Regards.
