Assistant Commtssioner and General Counsel Boston Inspectional Services Department 1010 Massachusetts A venue Boston, MA 02118 Dear Attorney Coburn: I have received the petition of Sarah Schoff appealing the nonresponse of the Boston Inspectional Services Department (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § lOA; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Ms. Schoff requested "[n]otes, [r]eports, and [r]ecords related to the 2018 Annual Inspection" for three named Boston Public Schools. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Ms. Schoff 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 Department provided responsive records to Ms. Schoff's request with a response sent October 30, 2018. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Department's failure to provide a substantive written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Schoff may appeal the substantive nature of the Department's response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1 ). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Sarah Schoff 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
