The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records September 24, 2021 SPR21/2344 Linda A. Emerson Town Clerk Town of Lynnfield 55 Summer St, Lynnfield, MA 01940 Dear Ms. Emerson: I have received the petition of Steven G. Smyrnios appealing the response of the Town of Lynnfield (Lynnfield) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On August 11, 2021, Mr. Smyrnios requested numerous records regarding COVID-19 prevention measures taken in Town schools. On August 24, 2021, the Town responded and provided a further response on September 3, 2021. Unsatisfied with the Town’s responses, Mr. Smyrnios petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR21/2344, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Town responded to Mr. Smyrnios request with a supplemental response sent on September 21, 2021. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the Town’s August 24th and September 3rd responses, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Smyrnios may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s September 21st response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Steven G. Smyrnios 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
