Dear Ms. Bloom,

The Board is in receipt of your Open Public Records Act ("OPRA") request. Your request requires additional time to respond due to personnel capacity matters and due to the significant demands placed on the District with regard to the exceptionally large number of OPRA requests the Board has received. OPRA allows custodians to seek extensions of time pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5(i). Specifically, OPRA states that “the requestor shall be advised by the custodian when the record can be made available. If the record is not made available by that time, access shall be deemed denied.” Accordingly, your request requires an extension of time until July 28, 2022.

Dear Ms. Bloom:

The District received your OPRA request dated June 17, 2022. The District subsequently information you that it needed until July 27, 2022 to respond to your request. You have requested the following government records:

Any and all emails to and from parents, staff members, teachers, students, vendors, community members, to/from Chari Chanley, with words "Dr. Chanley," from 2012-present.

Please be advised that your request is denied as being overbroad under OPRA’s requirements. See MAG Entertainment, LLC v. Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, 375 NJ. Super. 534 (App. Div. 2005), Bent v. Stafford Police Department, 381 N.J. Super. 30 (App. Div. 2005), New Jersey Builders Association v. New Jersey Council on Affordable Housing, 390 N.J. Super. 166 (App. Div. 2007) and the Council’s decision in Schuler v. Borough of Bloomsbury, GRC Complaint No. 2007-151 (February 2009). Under the above decisions, in order to specifically identify an e-mail, OPRA requests must contain (1) the content and/or subject of the e-mail, (2) the specific date or range of dates during which the e-mail was transmitted or the emails were transmitted, and (3) a valid e-mail request must identify the sender and/or the recipient thereof.

A review of your request reveals that it does not comply with requirement 1 as you have not provided a subject of the requested email. Additionally, you have requested that the District provide with records mentioning categories of individuals, such as “community members,” instead of providing the names of actual senders or recipients, and thus, your request does not comply with requirement 3 either.

If you wish to revise your request and resubmit it to the District, we will review and make a determination if it meets OPRA’s requirements, and if so, respond to it as required.

Thank you for your cooperation.
