Dear Neptune Township 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-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:
The number of child protective service referrals made by personnel at Shark River Hills Elementary School (or any Neptune Board of Education school) to DCPP between January 1, 2023 and present;

Of those referrals, how many resulted in the child being transported to the Monmouth County Child Advocacy Center (CAC) for a forensic interview;

Any records, policies, or communications (with redactions as needed) that outline the school’s protocol for:

Reporting suspected abuse;

Communicating with parents before or after a child is removed from school for such an interview.

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.

Yours faithfully,

Bianca Sangiovanni
