There was insufficient evidence to establish that the Superintendent's Office failed to respond to Complainant's APRA request dated November 19, 2012. With respect to Complainant's APRA request dated December 1, 2012, this Department found that the Superintendent's Office violated the APRA when it failed to timely respond to this APRA request. See R.I. Gen. Laws § 38-2-7(a). The Superintendent's Office was allowed ten (10) business days to provide an explanation as to why its untimely response should not be considered knowing and willful, or reckless. See R.I. Gen. Laws § 38-2-9(d). A supplemental finding will follow.
