Assistant General Counsel Department of Early Education and Care 51 Sleeper Street Fourth Floor Boston, MA 02210 Dear Attorney Karlin: I have received the petition of Wayne A. Perkins, Esq. appealing the response of the Department of Early Education and Care (Department) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On May 28, 2021, Attorney Perkins requested “public records in the care, custody and/control of the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and care which identifies all of the teachers and assistants, their EEC certifications, their mailing and email addresses located in region four.” The City provided a response on June 15, 2021. Unsatisfied with the Department’s response, Attorney Perkins petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR21/1591, was opened as a result. Subsequently, the Department provided a supplemental response dated July 9, 2021. In light of this supplemental response, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. Attorney Perkins may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s July 9th response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, 1.f<J I.AJI J~ W~ ,~O -. ~·-- o Rebecca S.
