Swampscott elementary school students will begin returning to class five days a week in April and the School Committee has approved a new distancing rule that allows students to be within 3 feet of each other. The original distance was 6 feet. Middle school and high school students will return later.
“It has to be phased in,” said Swampscott Superintendent Pamela Angelakis at a School Committee meeting on Feb. 24. “It’s not going to happen overnight.”
More than 100 people - including parents and teachers - joined into the Zoom meeting. Many parents expressed frustration and anger that students have not been back full time yet.

Swampscott resident Ted Delano recently made known his intention not to seek a fourth Swampscott School Committee term in the 2021 municipal election.
Delano, a Swampscott native and police detective, has served on the elected, five-member committee for nearly a decade, bringing what local officials characterized to the Swampscott Reporter as invaluable experience and expertise.
“I held the position of being on the School Committee incredibly close to my heart. I have enjoyed the privilege of representing the future leaders of our community,” said Delano at the tail end of the School Committee’s public meeting convened on Feb. 24. “My decisions were always based on the best interest of our children and the fiduciary responsibility to the district.”

A special Swampscott Town Meeting – presided over by Town Moderator Michael McClung – opens virtually at 7 p.m. on Monday, March 1.
The idea of a Town Meeting convening two months before the annual one? Officials argue that plans to repair Swampscott Middle School roof cannot wait.
Elected Town Meeting members will work their way through three articles (or agenda items) packaged in the town warrant (the meeting’s agenda).
Two of the three articles listed relate to financial town matters, and the other is a boilerplate article to allow officials to make presentation on the Town Meeting floor - or in this case, the virtual Town Meeting floor.
