Dear Mr. Kratovil,

I am responding as the records custodian for the West Windsor-Plainsboro
Regional School District Board of Education (“Board”). This email is in
response to your OPRA Request that was sent to me after hours on Saturday,
Jan. 25, 2025, via OPRA Machine.  The seven-business day timeframe for the
Board to provide a response to your Requests expires on Feb. 5, 2025. 
This response is being provided to you within that time frame.

OPRA defines a “government record” of a public entity as “any paper,
written or printed book, document, drawing, map, plan, photograph,
microfilm, data processed or image processed document, information stored
or maintained electronically or by sound-recording or in a similar device,
or any copy thereof, that has been made, maintained or kept on file in the
course of his or its official business.” N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1. Accordingly,
the Board is required to produce only those records which it maintains in
the official course of business and which are not otherwise exempt from
production. Pursuant to the definition of a government record, a public
entity is not required by OPRA to research information and/or create
records that do not exist in response to OPRA requests. See e.g., Mag
Entertainment, LLC v. Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, 375 N.J.
Super. 537 (App. Div. March 2005).

Your specific request was as follows. 

“Current 2025 public meeting schedule”

Response: The Board’s responsive document is attached. In addition, Board
of Education meeting dates/times/locations are also posted to the District
website [1]here. 

If your request for access to a government record has been denied or
unfilled within the seven (7) business days required by law, you have a
right to challenge the decision by the District to deny access.  At your
option, you may either institute a proceeding in the Superior Court of New
Jersey or file a complaint with the Government Records Council (GRC) by
completing the Denial of Access Complaint Form.  You may contact the GRC
by toll-free telephone at 866-850-0511, by mail at P.O. Box 819, Trenton,
NJ 08625, or by e-mail at [2][email address], or at their website at
[3]www.state.nj.us/grc.  The GRC can also answer other questions about the
law.  All questions regarding complaints filed in Superior Court should be
directed to the Court Clerk in your County.

Sincerely,

Kia Bergman

Custodian of Records

Dear West Windsor-Plainsboro School District,

Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA
and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an
official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request
per NJSA 47:1A-5(f), which states that an email from a requestor
including all of the information required on the adopted form shall
suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record
request.

I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of
New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.

I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial
purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Records requested:
1) current 2025 public meeting schedule

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by
E-mail as attachments.
Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the
custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and
provide their email address to me for future reference.

Thank you very much for your assistance with this request.

Yours faithfully,

Charlie Kratovil
