I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to appeal the delay in response to my New York Freedom of Information Law request, originally submitted on March 7, 2023, regarding the records pertaining to the Schenectady City School District and Common Thread Consulting, LLC. As of today, May 8, 2023, I have yet to receive the requested documents or any communication acknowledging the progress of my request.

As per the New York Freedom of Information Law, a response is required within five business days. Unfortunately, this time frame has long since passed, and I am left without the requested information or any update on its availability.
