Good morning,
This email is in response to your FOIA request. The VDOE anticipates that it will not be practically possible to provide the requested records within the five-work-day period allowed by FOIA due to staff commitments; therefore, we are invoking the additional seven working days allowed by Section 2.2-3704 B.4 of the Virginia FOIA. The VDOE's revised due date to respond is 4/9/2024.
Thank you,
VDOE FOIA Officer
