G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On May 2, 2022, Mr. Hart requested four (4) categories of records concerning the School and its staff. Claiming to not yet have received a response, Mr. Hart petitioned this office, and this appeal, SPR22/1147, 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 Mr. Hart with a response to the request, provided in a manner consistent with this order, the Public Records Law and its Regulations within 10 business days. A copy of any such response must be provided to this office. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Sincerely, Rebecca S.
