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."
