Dear Medford Lakes School District Records Custodian,

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:

School years: Please treat “school year” as the District’s standard school-year boundaries, and provide records for SY 2024-2025 and SY 2025-2026.

2) CHPE / Health curriculum opt-outs (aggregate counts only)

3) Parent opt-out / opt-in form(s)
Copies of the form(s) used in each listed school year for parents/guardians to opt out / opt in (or otherwise exercise rights under N.J.S.A. 18A:35-4.7) for CHPE/Health instruction.

7) Legal invoices (7/1/2024–present)
Copies of legal invoices/bills submitted by the Board Attorney and any outside counsel from July 1, 2024 to present.
