Ben Tobin v. Brockton, City of - Public Schools (SPR 20220088)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records January 28, 2022 SPR22/0088 Bou Lim Records Access Officer Brockton Public Schools 43 Crescent Street Brockton, MA 02301 Dear Bou Lim: I have received the petition of Ben Tobin appealing the nonresponse of the Brockton Public Schools (School) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On April 15, 2021, Mr. Tobin requested “… copies of … [the] School’s special education program plan agreement as well as the policies and procedures…” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Tobin petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/0088, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the School provided a response dated January 27, 2022 to Mr. Tobin’s request. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the School’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Tobin may appeal the substantive nature of the School’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Ben Tobin 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
