See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).

Based upon a conversation between a Public Records Division staff member and a District representative, it is my understanding that the District intends on providing a further response to Ms. Carty. Accordingly, the District is ordered to provide Ms. Carty with said response in a manner consistent with this order, the Public Records Law and its Regulations within ten (10) business days. It is preferable to send an electronic copy of this response to this office at pre@sec.state.ma.us. Ms. Carty may appeal the substantive nature of the District’s response within ninety (90) days.
