Opra request
Dear Fair Lawn Public School District,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
1. E-mails logs for the below email addresses from September 2020 to June 7th, 2021.
A. [email address]
B. [email address]
C. [email address]
D. [email address]
E. [email address]
F. [email address]
2. E-mails received from [email address] from September 2020 to June 7th, 2021.
Yours faithfully,
Walter Regan
On behalf of Records Custodian Brooke Bartley, we are responding to your
OPRA request as follows;
1. We presume by asking for an email log you are requesting a list of all
emails sent from or received by the listed addresses showing the
sender, recipient, date and subject matter line for each email. Please
advise if this is not correct. Our I.T. department has been working to
generate such reports, which are not readily producible by our system
and would have to be created. Due to the voluminous nature of the work
we are requesting until June 23, 2021 for an initial response. At that
point, we will have a better idea whether a special service charge
will be warranted to redact any privileged or confidential information
from the lists.
2. Your second item is not an appropriate form of OPRA request for
emails. The Government Records Council has ruled that “in order to
specifically identify an e-mail, OPRA requests must contain (1) the
content and/or subject of the e-mail, (2) the specific date or range
of dates during which the e-mail was transmitted or the e-mails were
transmitted, and (3) a valid e-mail request must identify the sender
and/or the recipient thereof.” Gatson v. Morris County Prosecutor’s
Office, GRC Complaint No. 2010-276. As you have not provided all of
the required parameters, I am denying your request on this item.
Please revise and re-submit.
Yours truly,
Brooke Bartley
Records Custodian

Dear Qirjako, Altea,
That is correct. I am seeking E-Mail logs that should contain sender, recipient, date and subject from September 2020 to June 7th, 2021.
Please see the Paff v. Township of Galloway Supreme Court decision from 2017, which held this is a valid OPRA request. Please send your response in PDF form.
Yours sincerely,
Walter Regan
Hello,
The District e-mail system cannot produce e-mail logs in the format requested; therefore, no such record meets your request.
