Town Meeting: Tunbridge, Chelsea voters narrowly approve First Branch school budget
Modified: 5/26/2021 9:56:59 PM
CHELSEA Voters in the First Branch Unified School District narrowly approved the annual budget by Australian ballot on Tuesday. The vote tally was 117-111.
Last year, the district’s two towns, Chelsea and Tunbridge, struggled to come up with an acceptable budget, finally approving spending for the merged school district last October, well into the school year, after defeating it twice.
The $6.85 million budget for the coming year is about $40,000 lower than the current year’s spending, and the residential education tax rate is due to rise by about 2.5 cents per $100 of assessed value in Tunbridge and a bit less than 3 cents per $100 in Chelsea.
As Nomination Papers have become available for elected office in recent weeks, two names that will likely hit the ballot in District 7 this fall might look a little similar.
In fact, they will be identical, and that’s because Tanairi Garcia Vega announced this week she will be running for District 7 City Council, and Kelly Garcia Vega announced she will be running for re-election to District 7 School Committee – where she currently serves as the chair of the Committee.
The Garcia Vega sisters, Kelly and Tanairi, announced they would be running a slate in District 7 for City Council and School Committee in this year’s Municipal Election. Pictured here are School Committee Chair Kelly Garcia Vega, their mother Socorro Vega, Tanairi Garcia Vega, her daughter Tanairi Camacho, and her son, Nathaniel Vega Garcia. Tanairi said she will run for District 7 Council, with Kelly running for re-election to District 7 School Committee.

As more and more people across the country are vaccinated and COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, you can feel the gears starting to shift in the media narratives and among elected officials: Get back to normal and turn the page on the pandemic are the slogans of the moment. But where I live, normal was deadly long before the pandemic, though the pandemic goes a long way to explaining why.
I live in the City of Chelsea, Massachusetts. Over 70 percent of our 40,000 residents identify as a racial or ethnic minority, close to a quarter lives below the poverty level, and there are over 30 languages spoken at Chelsea Public Schools.
