Colman Herman v. Boston, City of - Public Schools (SPR 20232753)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records November 27, 2023 SPR23/2753 Shawn Williams, Esq. Director of Public Records City of Boston One City Hall Square Boston, MA 02201 Dear Attorney Williams: I have received the petition of Colman Herman appealing the nonresponse of the Boston Public Schools (School) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On October 31, 2023, Mr. Herman requested “…a copy of the Annual Equity Report for 2022-2023.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Herman petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR23/2753, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the School provided Mr. Herman with a response dated November 15, 2023. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the School’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Herman may appeal the substantive nature of the School’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Colman Herman 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
