FOIL Request for Information Regarding Threatening Emails Sent to Capital Region Schools (Colonie Police Department)

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the New York Freedom of Information Law, I hereby request the following records:

Pursuant to the New York Freedom of Information Law (FOIL), I hereby request copies of the threatening emails received by the North Colonie Central School District, Watervliet City School District, and Green Island Union Free School District, as reported in the news article published by the Times Union on March 6, 2023, titled "Some Capital Region schools received nationally sent email threat Monday" (https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/capital-region-schools-received-nationally-sent-17822662.php)

Additionally, I request copies of any police reports, witness statements, and/or narratives submitted by police officers related to the threatening emails. Please also provide any correspondence between the school districts and law enforcement agencies related to the emails.

As a reminder, FOIL requires that requests for records be granted or denied within five business days of receipt of a request. If access to any records is denied, please provide a written response detailing the reasons for denial.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

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.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Jackson Parker
