Allendale send/receive discussions with Saddle River BOE

The request was successful.

Dear Allendale Public School District,

This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.

Records Requested:
I am requesting any communications that have occurred since January 1, 2023, until the present, between the Allendale School District and the Saddle River Board of Education, as well as the Saddle River School District administrators, employees, contractors, or attorneys representing them. Specifically, I am interested in correspondence related to the establishment of any new send/receive agreements, encompassing discussions of interest, feasibility assessments, or proposals pertaining to this matter.

For clarity, a "send/receive school agreement" is a contract between two or more school districts, where one district (the "sending" district) agrees to send some of its students to schools in another district (the "receiving" district), typically because the sending district does not have appropriate facilities or programs to meet the needs of those students.

(1) To the extent that any such records contain personally identifiable information related to any individual student, please redact that personally identifiable information prior to disclosure.

(2) To the extent that any such records are exempted from disclosure under OPRA, and also unavailable under the common law right of access, please provide a complete Vaughn index of all such records, disclosing “sufficient detail to prove the requestor ‘with as much information as possible to use in presenting his case’ and to enable the ‘decision-maker’s review of governmental records to determine whether they contain privileged material.’” Paff v. Division of Law, 412 N.J. Super. 140, 161 (App. Div. 2010).

Regards,
Brian Hampel
