The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records August 31,2018 SPR1811304 Stephen Marshall Grants and Business Analyst Newton Public Schools 100 Walnut St. Newton, MA 02460 Dear Stephen Marshall: I have received the petition of Attorney Margaret Monsell appealing the response of the City of Newton- Public Schools District (School) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, 5 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, on July 10,2018 , Attorney Monsell requested various categories of records concerning the School District's agreements and policies. I learned that the request did not reach the School's central office prior to the intervention by a staff member of the Public Records Division. I was also informed that the School provided records responsive to Attorney Monsell's request via certified mail on August 30,201 8. Accordingly, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Attorney Monsell may appeal the substantive nature of the School's response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
