By letter dated March 18, 2016 the School District provided Mr. DiPronio a written estimate for the costs incurred in complying with his public rec.ords requests. By letter dated March 23, 2016 the School District informed Mr. DiPronio that it had reduced the fee; Mr. DiPronio paid the revised fee. By letter dated April11, 2016 you informed Mr. DiPronio that the School District received payment and was in the process of compiling and redacting the records. As of the date of his petition to this office Mr. DiPronio had not received the responsive records.

He now wishes to appeal the School District's withholding of the redacted information. Whereas this matter was opened based upon the School District's failure to provide responsive records, I will now co ider this administrative appeal closed. In light of Mr. DiPronio's May 11 letter, this fice w 11 open an appeal to address the substantive nature of the School District's response. ee 50 .M.R. 32.08(2). cc: Mr. Michael DiPronio OneAshburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 · (617) 727-2832 ·Fax (617) 727-5914 www.sec.state.ma. us/pre
