RE: Searles v. West Hartford Board of Education; CHRO # 0010385
Dear Ms. Searles:
I am writing in response to your letter of August 25, 2004, addressed to Mr.
Hamisi Ingram, Executive Director of this agency. In your letter, you request that
this complaint be reopened by the Commission.
In response to your request, the file in this complaint has been reviewed. On
September 5, 2000, this complaint was dismissed by the Commission. You
requested reconsideration of the dismissal; that request was denied on
September 10, 2001. That denial of reconsideration was the Commission’s final
decision on your complaint.
Pursuant to Regulations of State Agencies Section 46a—54-71a(e)(2), the
Commission cannot reopen a matter when a request to do so is made more than
two years after the date of the Commission’s final decision. The final decision in
this matter —- the denial of reconsideration —— was, as indicated above, on
September 10, 2001. Your request to reopen is dated August 25, 2004, almost
three years after the tinal decision. Therefore, the Commission is without
authority to reopen this complaint. Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
...- ·~· 7
