Aislinn Doyle v. Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (SPR 20253648)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records December 22, 2025 SPR25/3648 Helene Bettencourt Primary Records Access Officer Department of Elementary and Secondary Education 135 Santilli Highway Everett, MA 02149 Dear Ms. Bettencourt: I have received the petition of Aislinn Doyle appealing the nonresponse of the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (Department) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On November 13, 2025, Ms. Doyle requested a “contract with Cognia that started July 1, 2024 as well as the student privacy agreement with Cognia.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Doyle petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR25/3648, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Department provided Ms. Doyle with a response on December 18, 2025. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Department’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Doyle may appeal the substantive nature of the Department’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Aislinn Doyle 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
