The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records October 13, 2021 SPR21/2660 Anna Robert Director of Student Services North Brookfield Public Schools 10 New School Drive North Brookfield, MA 01535 Dear Ms. Robert: I have received the petition of Malden Transparency appealing the response of the North Brookfield Public Schools (School) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On September 26, 2021, Malden Transparency requested: For the time period January 1, 2019 through the date [the School] respond[s] with the responsive documents . . . 1. All billing statements and/or invoices from [a named law firm]. 2. All documents evidencing payments made to [a named law firm]. The School provided a response on October 8, 2021. Unsatisfied with the School’s response, Malden Transparency petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR21/2660, was opened as a result. Subsequent to the opening of this appeal, the School provided a supplemental response on October 13, 2021. Given that this appeal was opened based on the October 8th response, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. Malden Transparency may appeal the substantive nature of the School’s October 13th supplemental response within 90 days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S.
