Mark Mancini v. Falmouth, Town of - Public Schools (SPR 20211495)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records June 29, 2021 SPR21/1495 Lori S. Duerr, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools Falmouth Public Schools 340 Teaticket Highway East Falmouth, MA 02536 Dear Dr. Duerr: I have received the petition of Mark Mancini appealing the response of the Falmouth Public Schools (School) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On June 4, 2021, Mr. Mancini requested “the independent report conducted by Discrimination and Harassment Solutions that was conducted over a three-month period between January and May of . . . 2021.” The School responded on June 14, 2021, claiming to withhold responsive records under Exemption (c) of the Public Records Law. See G. L. c. 4, § 7(26)(c). Unsatisfied with the School’s response, Mr. Mancini appealed, and this case was opened as a result. Subsequent to the opening of this appeal, in a letter to this office and Mr. Mancini on June 25, 2021, the School provided a supplemental response. In light of the supplemental response provided by the School, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Mancini may further appeal the substantive nature of the School’s supplemental response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Mark Mancini 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
