Before Francesco Portelos showed his true colors as a man who likes to threaten and defame other people, I did what he asked me to do, and that was to file a Freedom of Information request for information about the principal of his school, Linda Hill. See below.
But first, an update on my opinion about Mr. Portelos:

Dear Mr. Baranello,
I believe that Ms. Laura Brantley meant to put Ms. Erminia Claudio, and not Ms. Claudio Erminia, in her email to Francesco Portelos? If not, please give me the title, contact information and authority of "Claudio Erminia" to find probable cause against Mr, Portelos.
Thank you,

As you know, the Freedom of Information Law requires that an agency respond to a request within five business days of receipt of a request. Therefore, I would appreciate a response as soon as possible and look forward to hearing from you shortly. If for any reason any portion of my request is denied, please inform me of the reasons for the denial in writing and provide the name and address of the person or body to whom an appeal should be directed.
All this and we haven't started the hearing yet. What is the biggest hearing room they have by the way?
