Good Afternoon,
Hope all is well. Arif Cagirici and Fatma Dogan were College Guidance
Counselors in which they assisted students with college applications so I
did not include them. Nicole Alvarez was hired as a leave replacement from
March 2020 - May 2020 covering for Jessica Johnson so that is why I did
not include her.

Dear Vasfije ,

I hope you are aware of Section 47:1A-11 :

New Jersey Revised Statutes
Title 47 - PUBLIC RECORDS
Section 47:1A-11 - Violations, penalties, disciplinary proceeding.

Universal Citation: NJ Rev Stat § 47:1A-11 (2013)

47:1A-11 Violations, penalties, disciplinary proceeding.

12. a. A public official, officer, employee or custodian who knowingly and willfully violates P.L.1963, c.73 (C.47:1A-1 et seq.), as amended and supplemented, and is found to have unreasonably denied access under the totality of the circumstances, shall be subject to a civil penalty of $1,000 for an initial violation, $2,500 for a second violation that occurs within 10 years of an initial violation, and $5,000 for a third violation that occurs within 10 years of an initial violation. This penalty shall be collected and enforced in proceedings in accordance with the "Penalty Enforcement Law of 1999," P.L.1999, c.274 (C.2A:58-10 et seq.), and the rules of court governing actions for the collection of civil penalties. The Superior Court shall have jurisdiction of proceedings for the collection and enforcement of the penalty imposed by this section.

Appropriate disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against a public official, officer, employee or custodian against whom a penalty has been imposed.

Yours sincerely,

Mike

The request reads "The list of the names and certifications of the Guidance Counselors"

and you said, "were College Guidance Counselors in which they assisted students with college applications so I did not include them. "

Are you sure you are the OPRA records custodian?

Yours sincerely,

Mike
