Dear Ridgefield School District,
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.
You previously denied this request for being too broad. I have narrowed the language and scope of request per your denial.
I would like to advise you of the following case ROSETTI VS. RAMAPO-INDIAN HILLS REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL BOARD OF EDUCATION, ET AL. L-1383-23, BERGEN COUNTY AND STATEWIDE.)

This includes both personal and BOE emails as outlined in the ROSETTI VS. RAMAPO-INDIAN HILLS REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL BOARD OF EDUCATION.
If this is too broad please provide was in necessary to close the scope and receive the requested documents. If not provide the exact reason for denial so I can appeal to the GRC or Superior Court as I believe the documents contain information for that show a hostile work environment and the basis for a wrongful termination.
