Lisa Scher v. Brookline, Town of - Public Schools (SPR 20201416)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records August 26, 2020 SPR20/1416 Suzanne McCormick-deBoer Town of Brookline Public Schools Department 333 Washington Street Brookline, MA 02445 Dear Ms. McCormick-deBoer: I have received the petition of Lisa Scher appealing the nonresponse of the Brookline Public Schools (School) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Specifically, Ms. Scher requested several categories of records within the possession of the School. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Ms. Scher petitioned this office and this appeal was opened as a result. Subsequent to the request for an appeal, I learned that the School responded to Ms. Scher’s request with a response sent on August 25, 2020. Whereas the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the School’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Scher may appeal the substantive nature of the School’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Lisa Scher 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
