Dover Letters to the Editor: A few words from Carolyn Malloy
Carolyn Malloy, Dover
Dear Dover Community,
I’d like to congratulate the winner and incumbent of the Dover-Sherborn Regional School committee seat, Maggie Charron. I would also like to congratulate Stephanie Kube, on a race well done, as she was an absolute pleasure to get to know.
To everyone who supported me, I want to express sincere gratitude! Although I did not win the election, it was very close: Maggie Charron 492, Carolyn Malloy 432, Stephanie Kube 108. Our voices were heard, which is so important!
The message of putting academic excellence and the social and emotional well-being of our students at the forefront resonated strongly with many in our community. Our work has just begun!

Dover-Sherborn Regional School Committee mulls plan for four-day school week
Sarah Freedman, Correspondent
DOVER The Dover-Sherborn Regional Schools are looking at how to return to full-time learning; however, not all members of the community agreed on the way to accomplish this goal and the timeline involved.
At the March 3 Regional School Committee meeting, Superintendent Andrew Keough outlined the proposed plan for the district to go to a four-day, in-person school week and transition from the hybrid model. The start date for this was April 5, a two-week push from his original proposal.
This was an effort on his part to “find a middle ground” amid differing opinions in the district.
Dover-Sherborn schools explores pool testing for coronavirus
Sarah Freedman, Correspondent
DOVER At the Feb. 3 Dover-Sherborn Regional School Committee meeting, Superintendent Andrew Keough addressed potential COVID-19 pool testing in the district. He said they are gathering details about what the state’s expectations are regarding participation rates.
He added, “We want to proceed a little further by putting out a consent form. That’s really where we would have more of an official count, and we would know whether we’re in the range.”
Committee Chairwoman Maggie Charron said she has heard concerns that increased knowledge of infections would cause students to be in school less, yet others have concerns not doing the pool testing would be a roadblock to being able to have more in-person learning in the middle and high school.
