Dear Spring Lake 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 N.J.S.A. 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:

Any and all responses, replies, or reply-chain communications from
Captain Timothy Giblin, his superiors, or any other Spring Lake Police
Department or Borough of Spring Lake personnel to Superintendent
LaValva's email dated May 5, 2024, with the subject line "Tension in the
HW Mountz School Community - Confidential," including any emails, text
messages, or other written communications responsive to or continuing
the thread initiated by that email.

Any and all written communications — including emails, text messages,
and internal memoranda — between Superintendent LaValva and Noelle
Giblin, President of the Spring Lake Board of Education, from May 1,
2024 through May 31, 2024, concerning or referencing the subject matter
of the May 5, 2024 email, including but not limited to escalating
tensions between school families, safety concerns, firearms reports,
parental conflicts, or the planning of any meeting with parents.

Any district policy, protocol, directive, or written guidance in effect
as of May 5, 2024, establishing the procedure by which the
Superintendent or other district administrators are to contact the
Spring Lake Police Department, including but not limited to any document
identifying the designated point of contact within the police department
for school safety matters, and any document explaining the chain of
command or protocol for reporting safety concerns to law enforcement.

Any written communications — including emails, text messages, or
memoranda — between Superintendent LaValva and Timothy Giblin's
superiors, from May 1, 2024 through May 31, 2024, concerning school
safety, parental conflicts, or any meeting at H.W. Mountz School,
separate from or in addition to the May 5, 2024 email already produced.

Any written communications — including emails, text messages, or
memoranda — between Noelle Giblin and Captain Timothy Giblin sent or
received using any district-issued email address, device, or account
from May 1, 2024 through May 31, 2024.

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by
e-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If
you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that
person and provide their email address to me for future reference.

Regards,
