Boonton - Public records

Every record Town Audit holds for Boonton, obtained under the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (OPRA). Files are reproduced as received from the custodian, except that two files are published in redacted form (see below) and a byte-identical duplicate in the school production is published once and noted as such.

Download status. Productions with a manifest are listed from the manifest, with their full metadata (pages, size, md5, SHA-256). Files are copied into this site from the configured evidence store only after SHA-256, MD5, and size verification against the manifest. A file that fails verification is listed as unavailable and is never served. On CLI/API deploys, files over 96 KB are listed, not copied; Git-backed deploys copy every verified file.

Before publication, every text-layer file was scanned for Social Security numbers, bank/routing numbers, dates of birth, driver's-license and passport numbers, and home addresses, and the image-only scans were visually checked. The scan plus the audit redo's re-check surfaced two files needing redaction under watch item W-41, both published redacted and labeled so below: the Gardberg employment contract (home address removed) and the September 9, 2024 board minutes (student date of birth and state IDs removed). The values are not reproduced on this site. The as-received originals are retained in the evidence store. Apart from those two redacted files, the only sensitive-looking hits were a masked routing number, budget lines for Social Security contributions, and aggregate attendance counts with no student names. Employment contracts name officials and state their public salaries, in their official capacity.

Derived text extracts: the 127 markdown extracts (123 school, 4 library) made from the productions during the audit are working derivatives, not published as site pages. The PDFs remain the authoritative originals. No verified audit content lives only in the extracts: every figure in the audit documents and schedules cites its source PDF plus page or schedule.

If you spot an error or a file that should not be public, contact the project and it will be corrected or removed.
