letter in response to your request for records pursuant to the Open Public
Records Act (“OPRA”) submitted and received on April 23, 2026.
More specifically, to the Board responds to your request as set forth
below:
“Any emails to Board of Education members Gail DiPane, Carmen Alvarez or

As a preliminary matter, please be advised that personnel records are not
government records and are therefore prohibited from disclosure under the
OPRA. The OPRA only permits the disclosure of limited specific personnel
information, specifically, the disclosure of an individual’s name, title,
position, salary, payroll record, length of service, date of separation
and the reason for such separation, and the amount and type of any pension
received. See N.J.S.A. 47:1A-10; N.J.A.C. 6A:32-4.3; N.J.S.A.
10:4-12(b)(8); and Libertarians for Transparent Government v. Cumberland
County, 250 N.J. 46 (2022).
The Board conducted a thorough search and review of documents potentially
responsive to your request. Please be advised that there are a number of
emails which are exempt from disclosure, as those emails in their entirety
constitute confidential personnel information pursuant to N.J.S.A.
47:1A-10, N.J.A.C. 6A:32-4.3, and N.J.S.A. 10:4-12(b)(8). In accordance
with the above, your request is hereby denied as a request for
confidential personnel records.
This correspondence and the foregoing information constitute the Board’s
full and complete response to your OPRA request and therefore, your OPRA
request is closed.
