Gifted & Talent and Academic Documents
Dear Bridgewater-Raritan Board of Education,
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-5(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:
All committee materials and minutes for the Finance, Facilities, & Transportation Committee meeting on February 18, 2026, including all documents, reports, presentations, and attachments distributed or referenced at that meeting.
All emails between Jeremy Li and Kevin Lomski with the subject line "Academically Independent Program Spend" in 2026, including all attachments.
All emails between Jeremy Li and Karen Jones with the subject line "Questions about Changes to Gifted & Talented Program" in 2026, including all attachments.
All emails with the subject line "Board self-evaluation" sent by Steven Singer to any Board of Education member in November 2025, including all attachments.
The document titled "March 13 BOE Brief" by Robert Beers in 2026, including all drafts and attachments.
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.
Yours faithfully,
BRRSD Transparency in Education
To whom it may concern,
The Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District received
your OPRA request dated 3/25/26. As such, the 7th business day deadline
to respond to your request is April 6, 2026.
Your request requires additional time beyond the seven (7) business days
to fulfill as there is a back log of open OPRA requests and as we are
still attempting to compile, review, and redact, if necessary, the
responsive documents. 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 records are not made available by that time, access
shall be deemed denied."
Your request requires an extension of an additional 30 business days,
setting the new date as May 18, 2026. Please be advised that the District
reserves the right to seek an additional extension if necessary.
Thank you for your patience and attention to this matter,
Kevin Lomski
