Dear Collingswood 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-6(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:

Pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (OPRA), please provide the following information:

1. The number of students from the sending districts of Woodlynne and Oaklyn who did not attend Collingswood High School for grades 9–12 for the following school years:

2024–2025 & 2025–2026

Please include separate totals for:

Woodlynne students & Oaklyn students

2. Also please indicate the alternative placements (e.g., technical schools, charter schools, private schools, homeschooling), though I understand this may require redaction depending on identifiable student information.

3. How many students specifically from Collingswood, Oaklyn and Woodlynne utilized "School Choice" in those years to not attend

If the records or portions of them are exempt, please provide the statutory basis for each exemption.

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.

Awaiting your response as required by statute,
