Mr. Kratovil,
I am in receipt of your OPRA request. This is an extremely busy time of
year, and we have many newly hired employees whose information hasn't been
fully entered into our databases. I am very busy, at the start of our
school year, so it will take me extra time to get to this TimeConsuming
Task, and still manage my Normal Duties. I will need more time to
complete your request.

Dear Ms. Hoefele,
I am in receipt of your initial response requesting an extension. Please advise when I can expect a substantive response to the request for records. Thank you.
Yours sincerely,

Mr. Kratovil,
I sincerely appreciate your acceptance of my request for an extension.
Now that school has smoothed down to a low roar, and our annual audit has
been completed, I will be able to begin to focus on your request. I hope
to have it completed by the end of this week.

Mr. Kratovil,
I apologize once again for the delay. I am trying to complete work for
several October 15th and 18th State mandated deadlines. I hope to be able
to dedicate time to your request once they are completed. Thank you again

Dear Ms. Hoefele,
Please indicate when you will be able to produce the responsive records to my OPRA request. Thank you.
Yours sincerely,

I expect to be able to have the information to you by Thursday at the
latest. I apologize again, I had a very big report that was due on
Friday, and I am just now catching up on my softer due dates. I greatly
appreciate your patience.

Mr. Kratovil,
This is our response to your OPRA request. Thank you so much for being so
patient, as this is a very busy time of year, and I needed to dedicate a
full day to prepare the information, which I did not have available to me
until now. Please find my comments, below, in bold, after each request.
We are now considering this OPRA request to be completed.
