Dear anonymous,

Ridgewood Public Schools received your Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request on March 24, 2021. As the official Records Custodian, I received your OPRA request on March 25, 2021. As such, the seven (7) business day deadline to respond to your request is April 5, 2021. This response to your request is being provided to you on the 1st business day after the custodian’s receipt of said request.

The following records are being provided in their entirety with redactions as required by law and are responsive to your request. Please see the dropbox link below.

Email server logs (all header information, not the actual body text) for
Criteria 1 - keyword - [email address]
Criteria 2 - for the date range Aug 1, 2020 to March 24, 2021.
Criteria 3 - The keywords may appear in any field, i.e. to, cc, bcc, subject, from, sender, or body of the message. Either / Or keyword (i.e. if any of the keywords is present, please provide the header / email log).

NOTE: We have redacted personal email addresses. [D’Andrea v. N.J. Civil Service Comm., the GRC reaffirmed its prior rulings that personal email addresses are protected by the expectation of privacy and should be redacted. The GRC noted that while the public is entitled to know the identity of the individual who sent or received the email, the personal email address is private.] Because the New Jersey courts have not yet addressed this issue, agencies should look to the GRC’s decisions for guidance on handling personal email addresses shown in a government record.

These records are being transmitted to you via OPRAmachine, as per your request. There is no cost associated with this request.

If 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 by the [insert name of agency] 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 completing the Denial of Access Complaint Form. You may contact the GRC by toll-free telephone at 866-850-0511, by mail at P.O. Box 819, Trenton, NJ, 08625, by e-mail at [email address], or at their website at www.state.nj.us/grc. The GRC can also answer other questions about the law. All questions regarding complaints filed in Superior Court should be directed to the Court Clerk in your County.

Sincerely,
