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

Re: Open Public Records Act Requests deemed Received on May 1, 2026
To Tony Michael:
This letter is in response to your OPRA Request that was deemed received
on May 1, 2026. This response is being sent to you within the 7 business
day deadline to respond to OPRA Requests from the date of the request.
OPRA defines a “government record” of a public entity as “any paper,
written or printed book, document, drawing, map, plan, photograph,
microfilm, data processed or image processed document, information stored
or maintained electronically or by sound-recording or in a similar device,
or any copy thereof, that has been made, maintained or kept on file in the
course of his or its official business …” N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1.1.
Accordingly, the Board is required to produce only those records that it
maintains in the official course of business and that are not otherwise
exempt from production. Pursuant to the definition of a government
record, a public entity is not required by OPRA to research information
and/or create records that do not exist in response to OPRA requests. See
e.g., Mag Entertainment, LLC v. Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control,
375 N.J. Super. 537 (App. Div. 2005).
Your request sought the following:
• Copies of ALL invoices for all fire extinguisher, kitchen fire suppression and fire alarm services from 2021 to present
Response: Please see attached. Redacted information included account
numbers.
Please note that Christina Fessler, CPA, Records Custodian, was informed
of this request in an email dated May 1, 2026. Moving forward, please send
all OPRA requests to me, Christina Fessler, CPA, Records Custodian, and/or
Adam L. Angelozzi, Ed.D., Superintendent of Schools.
If your request for access to a government record has been denied or
unfilled within the seven (7) business days required by law, you have a
right to challenge the decision by the Board to deny access. At your
option, you may either institute a proceeding in the Superior Court of New
Jersey or file a complaint with the Government Records Council (GRC) by
completing the Denial of Access Complaint Form. You may contact the GRC
by toll-free telephone at 866-850-0511, by mail at P.O. Box 819, Trenton,
NJ 08625, or by e-mail at [4][email address], or at their website at
[5]www.state.nj.us/grc. The GRC can also answer other questions about the
law. All questions regarding complaints filed in Superior Court should be
directed to the Court Clerk in your County.
Sincerely,
Christina Fessler
Christina Fessler, CPA
