Re: Response to Freedom of Information Law Request

Dear Mr. Parker:

This will respond to your New York State Freedom of Information Law (“FOIL”) request received by me on August 5, 2022 and follows my initial response to you acknowledging receipt of that request dated August 8, 2022. I am responding to your request as the Records Access Officer of Watervliet City School District. In your request you seek:

1. 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.

a. 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.

b. 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.

Please be advised that after a search and investigation, the District appears to be in possession of approximately 5,624 pieces of correspondence that may be responsive to your request, with the vast majority being unsolicited, commercial advertisements from various vendors. Given the scope of records within the District’s possession that may be responsive your request, as currently drafted, we respectfully ask that you consider refining your request, so that the District can narrow its response to provide you with only those records you are actually seeking, if the District is in possession of such records. Of course, should you still wish to proceed with your initial request set forth above, the District will have to print such records in order to review them appropriately and redact them, if necessary, and payment of $.25 per page will need to be paid in advance. Please let me know how you would like to proceed.

Sincerely,

Bernadette L. Boardman
Records Access Officer
