Superintendent of Schools Contract
Dear Edison 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:
1) copy of the current contract for the Superintendent/chief executive
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,
Charlie Kratovil
Mr KRatovil:
On June 5, 2024, Governor Murphy signed Bill 2930 into law which, among
other things now:
• Requires one Government Records Council (“GRC”) form to be used to
make OPRA requests
Please resubmit your request.
Thank you
Jon
Dear Mr. Toth,
Please read the bill you cited. I cited it, too. The OPRA now requires you to accept emailed requests.
Look at NJSA 47:1A-6(f) - see here for more information: https://www.nj.gov/grc/laws/act/index.html
"A completed form adopted by the custodian, a letter, or 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."
Please confirm you accept my request, and provide the requested record. Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Charlie Kratovil
Dear Jonathan Toth,

Dear Mr. Toth,
I believe this contract is relatively recent, and therefore 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
Dear Mr. Toth,
Thanks for the response, but I don't see any signatures on the contract. Can you send an executed copy of it?
Yours sincerely,
Charlie Kratovil
Can you confirm if a signed copy of the contract exists? If so please provide it.
Yours sincerely,
Charlie Kratovil
