See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On October 13, 2025, Ms. Pacy requested: …the following records related to the Shrewsbury School District for the period from October 10, 2023, to January 15, 2024: I am requesting all forms of communication between two Shrewsbury School District Employees used for work-related communication in their roles as employees in the School District. … Specifically, I request copies of: [1] Text messages[;] [2] Phone call records (including call logs, voicemails, etc.)[;] [3] Emails sent or received through school district email accounts[;] [4] Emails sent or received through personal email accounts[;] [5] Records of any in-person meetings[;] [6] Any other form of communication (including but not limited to social media, messaging apps, or other written correspondence)[.] 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 Chris Girardi SPR25/3678 Page 2 December 24, 2025 The School responded on October 27, 2025 and October 30, 2025. Unsatisfied with the School’s responses, Ms. Pacy petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR25/3678, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the School provided Ms. Pacy with a supplemental response on December 19, 2025. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the School’s October 27, 2025 and October 30, 2025 responses, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Pacy may appeal the substantive nature of the School’s December 19th response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Catherine Pacy
