Dear Garwood Public 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:

Pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq.), I am requesting copies of all records related to Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying (HIB) incidents reported within the Garwood Public School District over the past four years, including reports, investigation summaries, findings, disciplinary outcomes, and any correspondence or documentation related to each incident; I understand and agree in advance to the redaction of any confidential student or staff information in compliance with applicable privacy laws; please provide the records in electronic format if available, and if any portion of this request is denied, kindly provide the specific legal basis for the denial.

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,

Anonymous
