OPRA Request: Board Member Emails on 5756
Dear Colts Neck Township 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:
All email conversations sent from or received to current board members from June 1st through September 30th 2023 in which the word "5756" appears.
Yours faithfully,
Jane Doe
Good Morning,
As the Records Custodian for the Colts Neck Township Board of Education, I
am responding to the OPRA request below. I received your OPRA request on
Monday, October 30th. Kindly accept this response as being furnished to
you on November 8th, the seventh business day after my receipt of your
OPRA request.
I have determined the following records are accessible and can be
provided, and are responsive to your request:
1. .."all email conversations sent from or received to current board
members from June1st through September 30th 2023 in which the word '5756'
appears."
As you will see with respect to the above requested records, a redaction
was made on pages 9-10 of the emails to/from Andrew Rytter based on
privacy interests of students and is therefore privileged information not
subject to disclosure.
Any other redactions are based on matters of attorney-client privilege,
and therefore are not responsive parts to the records request and not
subject to disclosure.
The records can be accessed through the shared Google folder through the
following link:

If your request for access to a government record has been denied or
unfilled within the seven (7) business days required by law (or any
applicable extension as required by Executive Order), you have a right
to challenge the decision by the Colts Neck Board of Education to deny
access. At your option, you may either institute a proceeding in the
Superior Court of New Jersey or file a complaint with the Government
Records Council (GRC) by completing the Denial of Access Complaint
Form. You may contact the GRC by toll-free telephone at 866-850-0511,
by mail at P.O. Box 819, Trenton, NJ 08625, by e-mail

about the law. All questions regarding complaints filed in Superior
Court should be directed to the Court Clerk in your County.
