Dear Manalapan-Englishtown 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-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:

I am requesting the minutes and the recorded video of the 9/16 MERS
Board of Education meeting . Unedited.

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by
E-mail as attachments.  Please confirm you have received this request.

Dear Wolf, Veronica,

I am following up on my OPRA request regarding the video recording of a
Board of Education meeting. Your response indicated that the Board is
“not in possession” of this recording.

Could you please clarify:
        1.      Who currently has custody or ownership of this
recording.
        2.      Whether it might be available from the town TV station
or another entity.
        3.      The Board’s policy regarding retention and posting of
meeting recordings.
4. Whether the Board ever had this specific recording in its custody.

Thank you for your guidance.

Yours sincerely,

Lisa Gafah
