Public Records Request - NRSD


Here is a copy of an email I sent this morning to Ruth Miller, Seeing as we get to see line by line where the money goes for town budgets - I thought we should see
where the money goes school to help answer some questions and rumors.

 Dear Ms Miller:
 
This is a request under the Massachusetts Public Records Law (M. G. L. Chapter 66, Section 10). I am requesting that I be provided a copy of the following records:
 
The FY 2013 NRSD Budget (itemized)and the proposed FY14 NRDS Budget itemized. Also information on the proposed override money itemized where it will go.
 
I recognize that you may charge reasonable costs for copies, as well as for personnel time needed to comply with this request. If you expect costs to exceed $10.00, 
please provide a detailed fee estimate.
 
The Public Records Law requires you to provide me with a written response within 10 calendar days. If you cannot comply with my request, you are statutorily required to provide an explanation in writing.
 Sincerely,

    2. Sorry for the above removal, dang computers!

      Hi Rocco, Thanks for sharing this site with the blog. You seem passionate about this subject, as I have read your comments further into the blog. As this blog is filled with many voices, I am glad that you have chosen to share yours. I would think that if you wrote and sent to Pauly’s email a blog about the subject and your feelings about it, that he would gladly share it. As he has yet to make up his mind on the override for the school, this could be an opportunity for you to sway the vote in the direction you seek. Just a thought.
