Records Requests

What to Know About Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) Requests:

• A formal written request, specifying records sought, must be directly submitted to the WSWHE BOCES Records Access Officer. Requests which lack the specification to determine what records are being sought may be delayed or denied.
  
  
• The Records Access Officer will acknowledge the request, in writing, within five business days.
  
  
• If more than five business days are needed to provide the records, or reasonably deny the request, the Records Access Officer will provide an approximate date within 20 business days, in writing, of when the request will be granted or reasonably denied.
  
  
• Please note, in some instances, more than 20 business days are needed to provide the requested records. The Records Access Officer will notify the requesting individual in writing and will provide reasoning as to why more than 20 business days are needed.
  
  
• Any appeal of the Records Access Officer’s decision should be made within thirty (30) days, in writing, to the WSWHE BOCES FOIL Appeals Officer.
  
  
• For any additional questions, please contact the WSWHE BOCES Records Access Officer: Timothy Hilker, WSWHE BOCES Records Access Officer. Email Timothy Hilker
