Marion J. King v. Barnstable, Town of - Public Schools (SPR 20210778)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records April 12, 2021 SPR21/0778 Supt. Meg Mayo-Brown Barnstable Public Schools 230 South Street Hyannis, MA 02601 Dear Supt. Mayo-Brown: I have received the petition of Marion King appealing the nonresponse of the Barnstable Public Schools (School) to her request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On February 20, 2021, Ms. King submitted a request for the “Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Letter of Finding for [identified] complaint PRS … redacted of any confidential information.” Claiming to not yet have received a response, Ms. King petitioned this office and SPR21/0778 was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the School provided a response to the request dated April 6, 2021. Whereas this matter was opened based upon the School’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. King may appeal the substantive nature of the School’s response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Marion King 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
