Dear Pinelands Regional School District,

This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I certify under penalty of NJSA 2C:28-3 that I have not been convicted of an indictable offense. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.

NOTE: This is a reminder of an existing request, sent originally on October 20th, and then clarified, as requested by Mr. Brennan, on October 28th (both were originally sent by email). Please consider this a reminder of the original request, not an entirely new one. Below is a repeat of the request as sent in email.

Thank you.
