Thank you for your clarification on 29 February 2024 regarding your
 request for information to the Ministry of Education (the Ministry) under
 the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act).
 
You clarified that “Copies of all external correspondence sent or received
 by the Ministry regarding the reprioritisation, rescoping, pausing, or
 delaying of major building projects at schools, since 20 November 2023”
 included correspondence with schools. This requires additional
 clarification as a large number of schools are in scope of your request
 and it would require substantial collation to review and provide copies of
 all of the correspondence to these schools.
 
Could you please specify it there are specific schools that you would like
 to receive regarding? This would allow the Ministry to ensure we can
 provide the specific information you require in a timely manner. Failure
 to clarify may mean that correspondence to schools may be refused under
 section 18(f) of the Act, as the information requested cannot be made
 available without substantial collation or research.
 
Could you please provide your clarification by the end of the week so the
 Ministry can begin collating that information.
