Spending
Dear Vineland School District,
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:
Copies of ALL invoices for all fire extinguisher, kitchen fire suppression and fire alarm services from 2020 to present
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,
Tony Michael
Mr. Michael,
This is a labor intensive OPRA request.
It took me close to an hour to run the report just to PO numbers involved.
There are 170 purchase orders in your time frame requested.
The cost to execute this request is as follows:

I could run you a PO report by year that includes the details of each PO
report. As this is an electronic report, I would not charge you anything.
But in order to execute the request, we would need a payment from you in
the amount of $462.53.
Please advise how you would like to proceed.
