This correspondence is being sent in response to the Open Public Records Act (“OPRA”) request you submitted to the Midland Park Board of Education. As the official Records Custodian, I received this request on September 26, 2023. As such, the seven (7) business day deadline to respond to your request is October 5, 2023. This response is being sent within this deadline.

You requested "Any document, invoice, or bill related to the total expense of holding the referendum vote on March 8, 2022 i.e. expenses for renting voting machines, expenses between Midland Park Schools and Bergen County, expenses between Midland Park Borough and Midland Park Schools, invoices for advertising the referendum, and related expenses". The attached documentation is responsive to this request.

If your request for access to a government record has been denied or unfilled within the seven business days required by law, you have a right to challenge the Board’s decision 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 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, New Jersey, 08625, by e-mail at [email address], or at their website at www.state.nj.us/grc. The Council 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.
