MIchael,
I am following up on my email from 8-8-2023 asking to have a phone call to
discuss your request. As you hopefully aware the Educational Services
Commission of NJ is not classified as a local education Agency (LEA) and
is classified as an Educational Services Commission (ESC), Most if not
all the information you requested is not applicable to an ESC.
I would be glad to discuss this with you to help in what you are looking
for.
Thank you
Anthony
