School Committee Member Paul A. Magliocchetti, who chairs the negotiating subcommittee which also includes member Toni Sapienza Donais, said Sunday that not only does the full School Committee value the support staff, it has offered a three-year compensation package.

A federal grand jury has returned indictments against the owners of a trucking company that hired the driver who crashed into and killed seven motorcyclists, including a former Haverhill man, during the spring of 2019 in Randolph, N.H.
Thirty-six-year-old Dunyadar Gasanov, also known as Damien Gasanov, and 35-year-old Dartanayan Gasanov owners of Westfield Transport, were each indicted on a charge of falsification of records. The older Gasanov, who has eluded arrest, was also indicted on conspiracy to falsify records and making a false statement to a federal investigator. The younger Gasanov was arrested Friday morning and appeared before Magistrate Judge Katherine A. Robertson.
