Mr. Michael,

The Eastern Camden County Regional School District Board of Education (the “Board”) is in receipt of your OPRA request, which was dated June 25, 2026 at 7:50 PM. The request is considered to be received on Friday, June 26, 2026. Accordingly, factoring in the legal holidays, the seven (7) business day timeframe within which a response must be provided is Monday, July 8, 2026. This response is being provided within the seven (7) business day time frame.

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 which it maintains in the official course of business and which 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. March 2005).

Your request sought the following:

Copies of ALL invoices for all fire extinguisher, kitchen fire suppression and fire alarm services from 2020 to present

The government records responsive to your request are attached to this email.

If your request for access to a government record has been denied or unfilled, you have a right to challenge the decision by the district 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 [email address], or at their website at 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,
Kenneth Verrill, Custodian of Records

PS, Kindly acknowledge the receipt of the email response.
