EAST LONGMEADOW – On June 8, voters will decide whether to re-elect Sarah Truoiolo to the East Longmeadow School Committee or support Aimee Dalenta in her bid for the seat. Reminder Publishing asked each of the candidates several questions about their ideas to support district students, staff and the community.
