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:
Letter or email submitted by or on behalf of board member Serena Wallace resigning from her position on the Manalapan-Englishtown Board of Education.
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,
James Mattoon
Mr. Mattoon,
Dr. Wallace announced her resignation from the Board of Education
verbally. Although requested several times, I did not receive a formal
letter of resignation from Dr. Wallace; therefore, there are no public
records that are responsive to your request.
Dear Wolf, Veronica,
Please provide the date Serena Wallace informed the board that she was resigning her position and please provide a copy of any notices advising the public that the seat is now vacated. If an annoucement has not been made, when does the board plan on announcing this vacancy? Also, please provide any correspondence to the County Superintendent informing him that there is a vacancy since she informed the board that she was resigning.
Yours sincerely,
James Mattoon
Mr. Mattoon,
Attached is a copy of the Public Notice that was published in the
September 26, 2025, edition of the Asbury Park Press. Dr. Wallace
informed the Board of her resignation after adjourning the September 2,
2025, board meeting. At that time, she informed the Board that she was
moving from Manalapan effective September 15, 2025. Superintendent Nicole
Santora verbally notified Dr. Lester Richens, Executive County
Superintendent for Monmouth County the following week.
