Brian Smyth,

May I please have any purchase order for the DIPLOMA joint Insurance Fund for the last 12 months under immediate access.

I am concerned that no one answers the phone or replies to e:mails at their office and they are cancelling meetings without stating why. See below is sent to their office this AM.

Regards,

Good morning Craig:

Is the Diploma Joint Insurance Fund still in operation? No one answers the phones or replies to e:mails.

You have a public notice for a Diploma JIF meeting today at 10:00 am but there is not a public notice cancelling it?

Your website shows today's meeting "cancelled" at 10:00 AM which is it? With no agenda shown. Is it cancelled or not given the public notice stating it is on?

Mr. Smyth or Dr. Handerhan do you know?

I don't see any public notice advising the January 9, 2024, meeting and then showing that was "cancelled". Why not?

Here is the only posting I found online regarding today's scheduled meeting.

"The Star-Ledger, Newark Publication Name: The Star-Ledger, Newark Publication URL: www.nj.com/starledger Publication City and State: Newark , NJ Publication County: Essex Notice Popular Keyword Category: Notice Keywords: diploma joint insurance fund Notice Authentication Number: 202403062239413346416 1814236858 Notice URL: Back Notice Publish Date: Friday, March 01, 2024 Notice Content PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT the Board of Trustees of the Diploma Joint Insurance Fund has scheduled a meeting on Thursday, March 7, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. at the Cranford Board of Education, Cranford, New Jersey. 3/1/24 $8.60"

Given the Wall BOE has so many outstanding lawsuits when is the next meeting? Will you publicly advertise it?
