Syracuse City School District Board of Education Policy Committee Meeting Minutes
The committee held a meeting to review and discuss the second reading of a modification to Policy 3311, which concerns the notification process regarding responses to Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests for employee disciplinary records. The proposed modification ensures that the District notifies affected employees within five business days, rather than ten, following the District's response to such requests, aligning the policy with legal mandates.
