Mr. Rozzi,
Good afternoon.
This email confirms that as the district’s official Custodian of Records,
I received your Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request via email on
Thursday, December 5, 2019.
In accordance with the law, I have seven (7) business days to either
provide the information requested or a valid reason why the information
requested cannot be provided. The seventh (7th) business day deadline to

Thank you.
Mr. Rozzi,
Good morning.
Regarding your OPRA Request received by me on Thursday, December 5, 2019
requesting "Copies of all text messages between Shawn Giordano and
Christopher Supsie between July 28th, 2019 and August 16th, 2019 regarding
the following keywords: 'Rozzi', 'Election', 'Discenza', 'Marchitello',
'Disqualify', 'Opinion'", please know that no records exist which confirm
to this request.
Thank you.
Dear Mr. DeGeorge:
Thank you for your response. Can you confirm what type of a search was used for this request?
Did this search also include the "Lacey Township Board of Education" Group text message chat. We saw that this group chat between certain board members existed when Board Member Peters showed up at one of our campaign events.
Yours sincerely,
Gavin Rozzi
Mr. Rozzi,
Good morning.
Given the fact that the devices involved are personally owned by Mr.
Giordano and Mr. Supsie, the only method of discovery available to me was
to ask them for any and all text messages deemed to be relevant to the
OPRA Request - which I did via email.
Have a good day.
