To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the New York Freedom of Information Law, I hereby request the following records:
All records, communications or briefings created, generated, forwarded, transmitted, sent, shared, received, or reviewed by any district official in any way describing or attempting to describe the definition of the phrase "new normal", including but not limited to any record located on backup tapes, archives, any other recovery, backup, storage or retrieval system, district electronic mail or message accounts, non-district electronic mail or message accounts, personal electronic mail or message accounts, district servers, non-district servers, and personal servers, as well as any electronic mail or message carbon copied to district account recipients, any electronic mail or message carbon copied to non-district account recipients, any electronic mail or message forwarded to district account recipients, any electronic mail or message forwarded to non-district account recipients, and attachments to any electronic mail or message.
For purposes of this request, the term "district official" includes, but is not limited to, any person who is 1) employed by or on behalf of the district, any sub unit of the district or agent of the district, in any capacity; 2) contracted for services by or on behalf of the district, any sub unit of the district or agent of the district, in any capacity; 3) appointed by the superintendent of schools or BOCES or NYSED to serve in any capacity at or within the district, any sub unit of the district or agent of the district, in any capacity; 4) any such person's staff, agent or employee; all without regard to the component, district, sub unit of the district, or office in which that person serves.
For purposes of this request, the term "briefing" includes, but is not limited to, any in-person meeting, teleconference, electronic communication, or other means of gathering or communicating by which information was conveyed to one or more persons.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Dear Mr. Parker,
Regarding the Freedom of Information Law request, originally
submitted on Aug. 5, 2022, we are continuing to investigate whether the
requested records exist and/or are accessible under FOIL but due to issues
around staffing and the number of FOIL requests received, will require
additional time to do so. Please see the attached letter of extension.
Thank you.

Mr. Parker,
Your FOIL request, received on August 5, 2022 was acknowledged on August
25, 2022 with an expected completion date of September 2, 2022. You were
advised of a further extension on September 2, 2022, with a new expected
completion date of October 3, 2022. Part of the reason for this extension
is the number of FOILs received. Additional inquiries only increase the
amount of time needed to respond to FOIL requests, so I would ask that you
hold your interim requests for updates until the expected date of
completion provided.
Thank you.
