Melissa Ptacek v. Berkshire Community College (SPR 20180252)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records March 8, 2018 SPRlS/252 Deborah A. Cote Vice President of Human Resources Berkshire Community College 1350 West Street Pittsfield, MA 01201 Dear Ms. Cote: I have received the petition of Ms. Melissa Ptacek appealing the nonresponse of the Berkshire Community College (College) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 1O A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Ms. Ptacek requested records related to the employment and qualifications of an employee of the College. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Ms. Ptacek petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequent to the intervention by a staff member of the Public Records Division, I learned that the College responded to Ms. Ptacek's request with a response sent on March 6, 2018. Accordingly, as the basis of this appeal was the College's failure to provide a substantive written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Ptacek may appeal the substantive nature of the College's response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, ~.~ Supervisor of Records cc: Melissa Ptacek One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • (617) 727-2832• Fax: (617) 727-5914 sec.state.ma.us/pre • pre@sec.state.ma.us
