Marion J. King v. Gardner Public Schools (SPR 20220202)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records February 4, 2022 SPR22/0202 Joyce West Records Access Officer Gardner Public Schools 130 Elm St. Gardner, MA 01440 Dear Ms. West: I have received the petition of Marion King appealing the response of the City of Gardner Public Schools (School) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On January 15, 2022, Ms. King requested a copy of the “ Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Letter(s) of Finding for complaint PRS 5827, redacted of any confidential information.” The School provided redacted records and a response to Ms. King on January 26, 2022. Unsatisfied with the School’s response Ms. King petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/0202, was opened as a result. Subsequent to the opening of this appeal, the School provided a supplemental response on February 3, 2022. Where the basis of this appeal was the January 26th response, I will consider this administrative appeal closed. If issues remain unresolved, Ms. King may appeal the substantive nature of the School’s February 3rd response within 90 days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records cc: Marion King 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
