Attn: FOIA Officer
Subject: Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Request – Records Pertaining to Network Breaches or Cyber Attacks
Dear FOIA Officer,
Under the provisions of the New York Freedom of Information Law, Article 6 of the Public Officers Law, I hereby request access to and copies of all records held by Pine Plains Central School District pertaining to:
Any network breaches or cyber-attacks that have occurred within your organization, including any records of unauthorized access, data theft, or system compromise from January 1, 2018 to the present.
Any internal investigations or reviews conducted in response to a suspected or confirmed network breach, including any reports, findings, or recommendations.
Any incident response plans or policies in place to address network breaches, including any procedures for mitigating and remediating the effects of such incidents.
Any communications between your organization and affected individuals, customers, or partners regarding network breaches or incidents.
Should any portion of the requested records be deemed exempt from disclosure, I request the release of any reasonably segregable non-exempt portions in accordance with the New York Freedom of Information Law. If an entire document is exempt, I request a justification, citing specific FOIA exemptions, and provision of an exemption log.
Please note your obligation under the law not to destroy any records potentially responsive to this request. Any withholding, redaction, or destruction of responsive records without proper justification constitutes a violation of the FOIA and is subject to litigation.
I also request a waiver of all fees in connection with this request as disclosure of the requested information is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government and is not primarily in the commercial interest of the requester. If the enclosed waiver is not accepted and there are any potential charges in excess of $200 associated with fulfilling my request, please inform me in advance.
As stipulated by the FOIA, I look forward to your response within five business days.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Jordan Lassiter
