Transparency Over Politics

Dear New Jersey School Boards Association,

Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-6(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.

I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.

I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Records requested:

emails between former Monroe Township Board President Christine “Chrissy” Skurbe and NJSBA Field Representative Mary Ann Friedman regarding the CSA Evaluation of Dr. Chari Chanley, between September-December 2023, including but not limited to the following key words: “evaluation,” “Chanley,” “Superintendent,” “Superintendent evaluation,” “complete,” “board members”

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.

Yours faithfully,

Transparency Over Politics
