Maryanne Stanganelli v. Newton, City of - Public Schools (SPR 20230028)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records January 20, 2023 SPR22/0028 Jill Murray Grady, Esq. General Counsel Newton Public Schools 100 Walnut Street Newtonville, MA 02460 Dear Attorney Grady: I have received the petition of Attorney Maryanne Stanganelli, of Insider Inc., appealing the response of the Newton Public Schools (School) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On August 30, 2022, Matt Drange, of Insider Inc., requested “separation agreements and settlements” along with “records relating to any and all claims of misconduct against current and former teachers,” providing a date range and further description and clarification of the requested records. The School responded in October 2022, providing numerous records in redacted form. Unsatisfied with the School’s response, Attorney Stanganelli appealed, and this case was opened as a result. Subsequent to the opening of this appeal, I learned that the School provided a supplemental response by email to Attorney Stanganelli and this office on January 20, 2023. As this appeal was opened based on the School’s October 2022 response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. If unresolved issues remain, Attorney Stanganelli may further appeal the substantive nature of the School’s January 20th response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Maryanne Stanganelli, Esq.
