Dear New Brunswick 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: complete copy of the recently-approved and ratified union contract for the workers of the New Brunswick school district.

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

Yours faithfully,

Charlie Kratovil

New Brunswick Board of Education

Thank you for your email.

I am out of the office for Winter Break. New Brunswick Public Schools

Good afternoon, Mr. Kratovil,

I am in receipt of your OPRA request dated December 30, 2025. Please note

Monday, January 5.

Regarding your request, while the parties have reached a contract
settlement, the 2025–2028 NBEA Collective Bargaining Agreement document
has not yet been finalized. Once the document is finalized, it will be
available for disclosure.

Regards,
Dorenia Villalona
Business Administrator / Board Secretary

Dear Dorenia Villalona,

If the bargaining agreement document is not finalized, please share a copy of the settlement document and whatever other document(s) was/were shared with the BOE before they voted to approve at the last meeting. Thank you kindly.

Yours sincerely,

Charlie Kratovil

Dorenia Villalona, New Brunswick Board of Education

Dear Mr. Kratovil,

Thank you for your email. As previously indicated, once the parties
execute the final Collective Bargaining Agreement, the District will
forward a copy at that time. With respect to your request for the
settlement document, please note that the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)
constitutes the mutual work product of the bargaining unit and the Board
of Education; the final and operative work product of the negotiations
process is the executed Collective Bargaining Agreement. Accordingly, the
District will provide the fully executed agreement once it is finalized.

Regards,

Dorenia Villalona
Business Administrator / Board Secretary
