The Commonwealth of Massachusetts William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth Public Records Division Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records March 17, 2026 SPR26/0900 Michael LaFrancesca Public Records Access Officer Director of Finance and Operations Medfield Public Schools 459 Main Street Medfield, MA 02052 Dear Mr. LaFrancesca: I have received the petition of Nadia Jones appealing the nonresponse of the Medfield 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 February 26, 2026, Ms. Jones requested, “[records] regarding the process for selecting a provider of rental stringed instruments for Medfield parents with children in the stringed instrument program[.]” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Ms. Jones petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR26/0900, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the School provided Ms. Jones with a response on March 17, 2026. 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. Jones may appeal the substantive nature of the School’s response within ninety days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Nadia Jones 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
