Dear Saddle 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.

Records Requested:
The most recent employment contract for Dr. Gina Cinotti, Superintendent/Principal for the Saddle River School District.
The prior employment contract(s) for Dr. Gina Cinotti, Superintendent/Principal for the Saddle River School District, including any amendments, extensions, or modifications.

Common Law: Under common law, I seek access to the requested documents to ensure transparency and accountability in the spending of public funds by the Saddle River School District. This request is grounded in the fundamental public right to access governmental records, which promotes accountability and transparency in public entities.

(1) To the extent that any such records contain personally identifiable information related to any individual student, please redact that personally identifiable information prior to disclosure.
(2) To the extent that any such records are exempted from disclosure under OPRA, and also unavailable under the common law right of access, please provide a complete Vaughn index of all such records, disclosing “sufficient detail to prove the requestor ‘with as much information as possible to use in presenting his case’ and to enable the ‘decision-maker’s review of governmental records to determine whether they contain privileged material.’” Paff v. Division of Law, 412 N.J. Super. 140, 161 (App. Div. 2010).

Regards,
Brian Hampel
