Dear Mr. Pepe,
I'm not sure how old the Superintendent's contract is, but if it is less than two years old, I believe it would qualify as an "immediate access" record under the OPRA. NJSA 47:1A-5(e): "Immediate access ordinarily shall be granted to budgets, bills, vouchers, contracts, including collective negotiations agreements and individual employment contracts, and public employee salary and overtime information."
Please provide a copy of the contract as soon as possible. Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Charlie Kratovil
