Training, education, certifications, and education completed by Caroline Shafto
Dear Howell Township,
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-5(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: Between January 1, 2023 and June 30, 2026, any trainings, certifications, courses, diplomas, and other education completed by Caroline Shafto, including but not limited to a GED/General Educational Development certification. This request includes proof of completion documents and invoices and purchase orders for any of the above items that were paid for using Howell Township funds.
I am entitled to this information by law: N.J.S.A. 47:1A-10
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,

Please note that the other items requested are exempt under N.J.S.A. 47:1A-10. Personnel records of an individual employee are not government records and are not available for public access.

Dear Allison Ciranni,
This is not a duplicated request, as other OPRA requests asked for Caroline Shafto's resume and the job application to which she applied. Also, the information I received from you in response to this OPRA is incomplete.
Yours sincerely,
Chana Solomons
Dear Chana Solomons, we received request #93025 twice, which is why I responded that one was a duplicate. I am not sure why we received it twice but it is the exact same request - maybe it was an electronic glitch.
As stated in Ms. Abernathy's email to you on 7/14/2026, "the other items requested are exempt under N.J.S.A. 47:1A-10. Personnel records of an individual employee are not government records and are not available for public access."
Thank you.
Sincerely,
