Cell Phone Text and Call Logs

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Toms River School District should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Toms River 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 text logs from Wednesday, June 16, 2021 between the hours of 6pm and 12:00am from board members Mrs. Lisa Contessa and Mrs. Ashley Palmieri. Mr. Nardini asked all members to put their cell phones on airplane mode and to put them in the box. Neither complied. Both Board of Education members were on their cell phones during the entire general board of education meeting; when they spoke they either read from their cell phones or wrote a narrative on a legal pad from the cell phone to speak on public record. If cell phones are being used during public meetings then cell phone text and call logs are part of the public record.

I am also requesting Mr. Kevin Kidney’s text and cell phone log for the entire duration of the general board of education meeting that took place on Wednesday, June 16th.

Yours faithfully,
R. Quimby
