G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On September 29, 2022, Ms. Barnes requested, “…all emails between BMHS Administrators regarding an incident that happened on February 2, 2022.” The School provided a fee estimate on October 13, 2022. Unsatisfied with the response, Ms. Barnes petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/2428 was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the School provided a further response on October 27, 2022. Where the basis of this appeal was opened as a result of the School’s October 13th response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Barnes may appeal the substantive nature of the School’s October 27th response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
