Dear Mr. Steinbaugh,
Please see the attached final response sent by the Office of Administration on March 3, 2025.
Thank you.

Hello --
For clarity, the March 3, 2025, response had two files attached to it (consisting of my RTKL requests). The response states: "Your requests are granted as to the potentially responsive records provided with this response" and indicates that disciplinary records were attached. However, I never received the March 3 response and do not appear to have access to those disciplinary files. Can you share them with me?
Thanks in advance,
Adam Steinbaugh
