Kim Reichelt v. Wayland Public Schools (SPR 20230145)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records February 7, 2023 SPR23/0145 Parry Graham Public Records Access Officer Wayland Public Schools 41 Cochituate Road Wayland, MA 01778 Dear Mr. Graham: I have received the petition of Kim Reichelt appealing the response of the Wayland Public Schools (School) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On November 11, 2022, Ms. Reichelt requested records related to notes used in a School Committee meeting. Prior Appeal The requested records were the subject of a prior appeal. See SPR22/2782 Determination of the Supervisor of Records (December 16, 2022). In my December 16th determination, I closed the appeal after the School notified this office that it would provide a further response. On January 23, 2023, the School responded. Unsatisfied with the School’s response, Ms. Reichelt petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/0145, was opened as a result. Based upon a conversation between a Public Records Division staff attorney and a School representative, it is my understanding that the School intends on providing a subsequent response to Ms. Reichelt. Accordingly, the School is ordered to provide Ms. Reichelt with a response to her request 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. Ms. Reichelt may appeal the substantive nature of the School’s response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1).
