Thank you for your response to my Freedom of Information Law request dated March 6, 2023. I understand the concerns regarding the breadth of my original request and would like to provide clarification to help narrow the scope and make it more manageable for the Averill Park Central School District to process.

Please consider the following modifications to my original request:

Timeframe: Limit the search to records and correspondence from January 1, 2022, to the date this revised request is processed.

Search Terms: Instead of the 18 original search terms, please focus on the following eight terms:
a. Equity
b. Culturally Responsive
c. Implicit Bias
d. People of Color
e. Social Justice
f. Diversity
g. Decolonize
h. Intersectionality

Correspondence: Focus the search on correspondence between the district Board of Education, district Administration, and district Equity Committee or Office only. Exclude correspondence between faculty, staff, third party contractors, and consultants unless they are directly communicating with the aforementioned groups.

I hope these clarifications and modifications will make the request more manageable for your team. I appreciate your assistance in locating and providing any responsive records to this revised request.
