Marion J. King v. Gardner Public Schools (SPR 20220424)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records February 28, 2022 SPR22/0424 Joyce West Records Access Officer Gardner Public Schools 70 Waterford Street Gardner, MA 01440 Dear Ms. West: I have received the petition of Marion King appealing the response of the 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 18, 2022, Ms. King requested, “Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Letter(s) of Finding for complaint PRS 5827, redacted of any confidential information.” The School provided a response on February 3, 2022. Unsatisfied with the School’s response, Ms. King petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/0424, was opened as a result. Subsequently, on February 28, 2022, the School provided a supplemental response. Given that this appeal was based on the School’s February 3rd response, I will consider this appeal closed. Ms. King may appeal the substantive nature of the School's February 28th response within ninety 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
