Tim McGuire v. Fall River, City of - Public Schools (SPR 20180716)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records May 30,2018 SPRl81716 Rebecca Caron City of Fall River-Public Schools 417 Rock Street Fall River, MA 02720 Dear Rebecca Caron: I have received correspondence from Tim McGuire appealing the response of the City of Fall River Public Schools (School) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, 10(A); see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, on April 10,2018 , Mr. McGuire requested "all documents including e-mails distributed by the faculty advisor to the Durfee High School Chapter of the Gay Straight Alliance ('GSA') to students who are members of that group." In a letter to this office dated May 15, 201 8, Mr. McGuire writes, "the materials produced indicate two pdf files were distributed to students. The materials I received do not appear to include the content of those files. On May 6, 2018, I inquired of Ms. Casey if she could forward the contents of those pdf files." Subsequent to the intervention by a staff member of the Public Records Division, I learned that Ms. Casey no longer works at the School and that the School subsequently provided Mr. McGuire records responsive to his request on May 6,2018 . It is my understanding that the School provided Mr. McGuire the responsive records once more in an email dated May 30,2018 . In light of the School's May 6th and May 3ot" responses, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. McGuire may appeal the substantive nature of the School's response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Supervisor of Records cc: Tim McGuire 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
