Dear Resident:

The District received an OPRA request from you today, August 2, 2022. You have requested the following government records:

All emails to current Board of Education members from Surendra Vallabhaneni, ([email address]) with the subject Monroe Township BOE shenanigans.

Please be advised that your request is denied as being overbroad under OPRA’s requirements. See MAG Entertainment, LLC v. Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, 375 NJ. Super. 534 (App. Div. 2005), Bent v. Stafford Police Department, 381 N.J. Super. 30 (App. Div. 2005), New Jersey Builders Association v. New Jersey Council on Affordable Housing, 390 N.J. Super. 166 (App. Div. 2007) and the Council’s decision in Schuler v. Borough of Bloomsbury, GRC Complaint No. 2007-151 (February 2009). Under the above decisions, 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 emails were transmitted, and (3) a valid e-mail request must identify the sender and/or the recipient thereof.

A review of your request reveals that it does not comply with requirement 2 as you have not provided the specific date or range of dates during which the e-mail was transmitted or the emails were transmitted.

If you wish to revise your request and resubmit it to the District, we will review and make a determination if it meets OPRA’s requirements, and if so, respond to it as required.

Thank you for your cooperation.
