The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records September 14, 2023 SPR23/2172 Karen Totman Executive Secretary to the Superintendent Mohawk Trail Regional School District 24 Ashfield Road Shelburne Falls, MA 01702 Dear Ms. Totman: I have received the petition of Ben Tobin appealing the nonresponse of the Mohawk Trail Regional School District (District) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On August 25, 2023, Mr. Tobin requested “…any school committee emails…with the following key words: child find, disability, SLD, advocate, and special education…” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Tobin petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/2172, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the District provided Mr. Tobin with a response dated September 13, 2023. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the District’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Tobin has appealed the District’s September 13th response which is now opened as SPR23/2195. Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Ben Tobin One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • (617) 727-2832• Fax: (617) 727-5914 sec.state.ma.us/pre • pre@sec.state.ma.us
