Dear Mr. Stoddard:
This is in response to your Freedom of Information Law request FL-OM-17/458 for State Education Department records regarding the official calendar or planner or schedule and office visitor log(s) of MaryEllen Elia that encompass the time period of June 5, 2017 through June 16, 2017, which was received on June 21, 2017.
Please find the calendar attached. Please be advised that portions of the document have been redacted pursuant to the exemptions specified in the Public Officers Law (“POL”) §87(2). Portions of the records were redacted pursuant to POL §87(2)(b) where their release would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy (see POL §89[2]). Additionally, portions of the records were redacted where they contained “inter-agency or intra-agency materials” not disclosable under POL §87(2)(g)(i) through (iv). This also reflects meetings that were tentatively scheduled but may not have occurred.
Please note that there is not an office visitor log of MaryEllen Elia. The Freedom of Information Law does not require an agency to prepare any record not possessed or maintained by the agency (Public Officers Law Section 89[3][a]); therefore, this portion of your request is denied.
If you wish to appeal this partial denial, you may do so within 30 days by emailing FOILappeal@nysed.gov or writing to:
MaryEllen Elia
Commissioner of Education
NYS Education Department
Room 111, Education Building
89 Washington Avenue
Albany, NY 12234
Sincerely,
Records Access Officer
