Hinsdale School District SAU92 – Ghosting Me Will Get You Nowhere Edition …
Back on March 22nd (posted on March 24th), I sent an RSA 91-A to SAU 92 / Hinsdale asking for their Public School Library card catalog.

And a wee bit of “I know more about RSA 91-A than he does”. Well, perhaps – she’s a lawyer and I’m not. However, sometimes engineers, who must be MORE precise than lawyers many times, can read simple English used in writing such laws. I will give her an A for trying to move the … Read more
So What’s in Your Child’s Public School Library? I Didn’t Know, So I Did a Right to Know.
“Right to knows” are like a Lay’s potato chip; you just can’t eat just one or send only one. So, I sent more than one, more than a few. And more to come, but here was a first effort. Here was the “payload” (minus the normal boilerplate):
