Good afternoon,

Your request requires further clarification. Your request sought “emails between Ms. Chari Chanley (As Principal) and the MTMS PSA, PTO, PTA Dated 2016-2020. Subject and/or Keywords: PSA, PTO, PTA, merchandise, event, fundraiser, money, distribution, pickup, shirts, signs, vendor, approval, meeting, discussion, principal.” Please be advised that the District is unaware of a specific e-mail address for the MTMS PSA, PTO, or PTA. If our understanding is incorrect, kindly provide the appropriate e-mail address. If it is not, the District needs clarification on the specific individual or representative from the MTMS PSA, PTO, or PTA that you are seeking the requested communications so that the District can locate the responsive records. A proper request under OPRA must identify with reasonable clarity those documents that are desired. See Bent v. Stafford Police Department, 381 N.J. Super. 30, 37 (App. Div. 2005). In particular, OPRA “is not intended as a research tool litigants may use to force government officials to identify and siphon useful information. Rather, OPRA simply operates to make identifiable government records ‘readily accessible for inspection, copying, or examination.’ N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.” MAG Entm't, LLC v. Div. of Alcoholic Beverage Control, 375 N.J. Super. 534, 543 (App. Div. 2005). As a result, your request is denied, at this time, until further clarification is provided.

Specifically, OPRA states that "the requestor shall be advised by the custodian when the record can be made available. If the record is not made available by that time, access shall be deemed denied." Accordingly, your request requires an extension of time until April 25, 2022.
