Dear WWP Resident:
This email is in response to your OPRA Request that was submitted via
OPRAmachine May 26, 2023. Due to the fact that the Board was closed
Friday, May 26, 2023, and Monday, May 29, 2023, the seven-business day
timeframe for the Board to provide a response to your Request expires on
June 8, 2023. 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. 2005).
The Board’s response to your Requests is follows:
“The number of students who scored 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 on all AP tests from
2015-2022 from HSS and HSN. I am only interested in the number of students
- no student or teacher names are required”
Response: The information you requested is as follows:
Year Score of 1 Score of 2 Score of 3 Score of 4 Score of 5
2015 46 109 363 622 1065
2016 52 117 412 710 988
2017 56 161 441 738 1132
2018 66 156 399 792 1304
2019 54 138 531 824 1418
2020 68 193 540 865 1307
2021 176 340 694 965 1193
2022 160 277 648 1011 1265
If you believe that 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 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
