Murray Supervisor of Records March 14, 2022 SPR22/0489 Julia Marko Primary RAO Berkshire Arts and Technology Charter Public School 1 Commercial St Adams, MA 01220 Dear Ms. Marko: I have received the petition of Marion King appealing the nonresponse of the Berkshire Arts and Technology Charter Public School (School) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On January 15, 2022, Ms. King requested, “[DESE] Letter(s) of Finding for [an identified] complaint … redacted of any confidential information.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. King petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/0489, was opened as a result. Despite being notified of the opening of this appeal, it remains unclear whether the School has provided a response. Accordingly, the School is ordered to provide Ms. King with a response to her request, provided in a manner consistent with this order, the Public Records Law and its Access Regulations within ten (10) business days. A copy of any such response must be provided to this office. Ms. King 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.
