Douglas Moser v. Nashoba Regional School District (SPR 20190272)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor ofR ecords February 26, 2019 SPR19/272 Supt. Brooke Clenchy Nashoba Regional School District 50 Mechanic Street Bolton, MA 01740 Dear Supt. Clenchy: I have received the petition of Douglas Moser of NBC IO Boston appealing the nonresponse of the Nashoba Regional School District (District). Specifically on March 27, 2018, Mr. Moser requested various categories of records concerning "relaxation, calm down, or time out rooms." Under the Public Records Law and the Access Regulations (Regulations) all requests for public records must be met with a response within ten business days of receipt of the request. G. L. c. 66, § lO(a)-(b). The response may contain, among other things, an offer to provide records, a fee estimate for provision of the records, or a denial. G. L. c. 66, § 1O (b ). All records custodians must comply with both the Public Records Law and the Regulations with respect to the timeliness of response. Despite the intervention by a staff member of the Public Records Division, it is my understanding that the District has not provided Mr. Moser a response to his request for records. Accordingly, the District is ordered to provide Mr. Moser with a response to the request, provided in a manner consistent with this order, the Public Records Law, and it's Regulations without delay. A copy of any such response must be provided to this office. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. ~ Rebecca S.
