See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On May 22, 2024, Mr. Marden requested, “all government emails, both sent and received, between the specified individuals surrounding the incident where the Holliston Public Schools refused a dog on a public sidewalk on October 18, 2023.” The Town provided a response on May 31, 2024. Unsatisfied with the Town’s response, Mr. Marden petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR24/2273, was opened as a result. Subsequently, the Town provided a supplemental response on August 22, 2024. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Town’s May 31st response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Marden may appeal the substantive nature of the Town’s August 22nd response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Christopher Marden 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
