You had said it was required, so I taught it. It would take 30‐60 minutes to
locate and produce the material.

10th grade teachers
We have had a FOIA request for the materials you might have used in the 2016‐2017
school year to teach the Israeli‐Palestinian unit. I believe most people opted not
to teach the unit last year since we are planning to update it. Please respond to
this email asap (so I can let the lawyers know) with the following information
1) Did you teach the I/P unit?
2) If you did teach it, how long would it take you to gather the following
materials for it. You will be paid for your time; round up to the nearest hour:
All classroom materials, including but not limited to handouts, websites,
multimedia presentations, Powerpoint or other slide presentations, textbook
sections, class notes, and lesson plans, used by any teacher at Newton South and
Newton North in teaching on any topic related to the Arab Israeli conflict in 10th
grade honors and standard curriculum World History classes during the 2016‐2017
school year.
Do not yet gather these materials ‐ just tell me how much time it would take you to
do so.
The work several of you did to develop the I/P unit was excellent and we are not
going to step away from teaching students to understand complex events such as this
one from multiple perspectives. This latest FOIA request only underscores for me
that it is well worth our time to revise the unit so it is more in keeping with
current events and to continue all teaching the I/P unit with the same thoughtfully
chosen materials. As always, thank you for your excellent work on behalf of our
