Any notice of the exclusive contracts
Dear New Jersey Attorney General's Office,
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: Any notice or notification of any kind in writing informing you of the exclusive contracts issued to school districts by any of the following: Source4Teachers; ESS; ESS Northeast LLC; ESS Support Services LLC.
Yours faithfully,
Paul Dalnoky
Good afternoon.
Please be advised that your request is denied under both the common law
and the Open Public Records Act as the Office of the Attorney General does
not have the records you seek. It is possible that the records you seek,
to the extent they exist, may be within the possession of the Department
of Education (DOE). You may wish to contact to DOE directly for
additional assistance or information on submitting a records request.
For future reference, please note that under N.J.A.C. 13:1E-2 submission
of records requests by email to the Department of Law and Public Safety is
not permitted. N.J.A.C. 13:1E-2.4(a) states: "Written Open Public Records
Act (OPRA) requests shall be hand-delivered during normal business hours
of the public agency, mailed or submitted electronically to the
appropriate division or agency custodian of records over the Internet by
means of a web-enabled OPRA request form [.] Submission of requests by
e-mail or facsimile transmission is not permitted." Pursuant to this
regulation, divisions within the Department of Law & Public Safety are not
able to accept emails as valid OPRA requests for access to government
records. You may instead submit your request through the State’s online
form, located at:
