Good morning JerseyShoreMan,
Pursuant to your OPRA request dated March 14, 2022, please be advised that
your request is overly broad.  Please clarify as to whether your request
pertains to a settlement where an employee is the plaintiff and the
district is the defendant regarding any LAD or sexual harassment claim or
where it is the student or its guardian bringing a similar complaint.  Our
understanding is this does not include civil suits brought by third
parties for personal injury, such as slip and fall on school property,
auto accidents, or other personal injury, as well as workman compensation
claims or contract claims with contractors or vendors.  
Please clarify so we can respond.
Thank you,
Sheri
