The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records February 2, 2026 SPR26/0282 David J. Quinn Assistant Superintendent Sandwich Public Schools 270 Quaker Meetinghouse Road Sandwich, MA 02537 Dear Mr. Quinn: I have received the petition of Meghan Keegan appealing the response of the Sandwich Public Schools (School) to a request for public records. See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On January 22, 2026, Ms. Keegan requested: …data for the past ten (10) years (pre- and post-COVID) on students who transferred to a different school through school choice or otherwise? Specifically, I’m looking for: [1] The number of students who transferred each year[;] [2] Each student’s ethnicity[;] [3] Whether each student falls under any protected class, including race, color, sex, gender identity, religion, national origin, immigration or citizenship status, disability, or sexual orientation[;] [4] Whether students had an Individualized Education Program (IEP), a 504 Plan, or other documented disability-related supports even if a temporary disability[;] [5] The grade level at which each student transferred[;] [6] The school each student transferred to[;] [7] The per-student cost to the district when a student leaves their town’s school for another school. The School responded on January 23, 2026. Unsatisfied with the School’s response, Ms. Keegan petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR26/0282, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the School provided Ms. Keegan with a supplemental response on January 30, 2026. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the School’s January 22nd response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Ms. Keegan may appeal the 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
