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: Requesting transportation bids for the 2024-25 school year received for out of district student that resides in West Long Branch and IEP has placed this student at The Laurel School of Princeton in Hopewell Township, NJ.

Dear Ms. Balsamo:
Kindly accept this email in response to your OPRA request dated September
16, 2024. Since your request is for information about a specific student
route, this is not covered by OPRA. However, because you are inquiring
about a route involving your child, I will do my best to respond and
provide you with the relevant information.
There are no transportation bids for your child’s route from West Long
Branch and The Laurel School of Princeton in Hopewell Township, nor am I
aware of correspondence between Lee-Ann Guiterrez to / from Neptune
Township Board of Education’s transportation department. As you are
aware, Shore Regional coordinates transportation for West Long Branch
students. The route that your child is currently on is a cooperative
transportation service permitted by law with Neptune Township, where no
bidding is required or necessary.
Thank you.
Ms. Corey J. Lowell, SFO
