The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor ofR ecords March 27, 2019 SPR19/0561 Ms. AmyKane Framingham Public Schools Department 73 Mt. Wayte A venue Suite #5 Framingham, MA O1 702 Dear Ms. Kane: I have received the petition of Mr. Paul Sullivan appealing the response of the Framingham Public Schools Department (Department) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 1 OA; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1 ). Specifically, Mr. Sullivan requested "the results and communications between school department employees and the accounting firm of Melanson Heath" ... regarding the "student activity account audit [that] was completed on August 10th, 2015." Mr. Sullivan stated: "at a minimum, I should have received a copy of this audit. I should have also received an invoice and communications between the school officials providing documents from the end of the school year (June 30th, 2015) until the audit was complete and then provided to the district." On March 15th, the Department responded, indicating that they had located the responsive records and that they were attached. However, Mr. Sullivan did not receive the attachment. Subsequent to the intervention by a member of the Public Records Division, I learned that the Department provided Mr. Sullivan the records. Accordingly, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Sullivan may appeal the substantive nature of the Department's response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S.
