Superintendent Timothy J.

Subsequently, I learned that the School provided Ms. Hayes with a response on February 27, 2025. 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. Ms. Hayes 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: Tara M. Hayes Jason Petraitis
