Dear Monroe Township School District (Middlesex),

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:

Please note that Chari Chanley's Ed.D. does not fall under the personnel exemption if this degree is the basis for Chanley's contract re-negotiation/promotion: "'In Kovalcik v. Somerset Cty. Prosecutor’s Office, 206 N.J. 581 (2011), the Supreme Court held that this exception does not authorize disclosure of all records that “evidence an employee’s educational background or even that evidence an employee’s participation in educational pursuits generally.'
Rather, the Court held that the exception makes available only records “that would demonstrate that a government employee lacked a required credential and therefore failed to meet the minimum qualifications for the position.”

In other words, if there is a certain training certificate, license, or degree that must be obtained in order to hold a government position-or to receive a promotion- then the public is entitled to access documents that prove whether or not the employee meets those requirements."

Therefore I am requesting:

Any official evidence such as transcripts or copy of a diploma, that confirms that Chari Chanley has obtained her Ed.D. from Rowan University. I am not looking for informal emails sent between Chanley and Rowan officials. I am looking for formal document such as diploma or transcript.

Yours faithfully,
