I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

To whom it may concern,
I am writing regarding your OPRA request received on 5/6/26 at 11:13PM,
seeking text messages containing specific key works between certain Board
of Education members and the Superintendent.  Pursuant to NJSA 47:1A-5(i),
the District requires an extension of time to respond to this request. 
The extension is necessary because the request requires the retrieval of
electronic communication from multiple distinct electronic devices held by
various individuals.  Once the records are collected, the records
custodian must conduct a careful, line-by-line review to ensure responsive
information is provided while appropriately redacting non-public,
personal, or privileged information as required by law.  We anticipate
providing a full response, on or before June 2, 2026.
Thank you for your attention to this matter
Kevin Lomski
