Marion J. King v. Hampden Charter School of Science (SPR 20220494)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Rebecca S. Murray Supervisor of Records March 14, 2022 SPR22/0494 Matt Basarir Primary RAO Hampden Charter School of Science 20 Johnson Rd Chicopee, MA 01022 Dear Mr. Basarir: I have received the petition of Marion King appealing the nonresponse of the Hampden Charter School of Science (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, “[DESE] Letter(s) of Finding for [an identified] complaint … redacted of any confidential information.” Claiming to not yet have received a response, Ms. King petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/0494, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the School responded to Ms. King’s request on March 10, 2022. 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. 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. 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
