The Chelsea Public Schools (CPS) vaccination clinic has become the hot place to be for educators from across the region, as the district seeks to vaccinate its staff and others in preparation for re-starting school this month.
Supt. Almi Abeyta and a huge collaboration between many folks came together for the third and largest vaccine clinic for educators on Friday, March 26, at the Burke Complex. Offering the one-shot Johnson and Johnson vaccine, the district opened up the clinic to the Five District Partnership (Chelsea, Revere, Malden, Winthrop and Everett), Lowell Public Schools, Excel Academy, Phoenix Charter, the Community Schools, For Kids Only and CAPIC.

LOWELL, Mass. â When Luis Pedroso, who emigrated from Portugal as a child, was attending the Lowell Public Schools, he sometimes struggled with math homework.Â
âWhen I went home, I didnât have anybody to help me with anything. I was on my own,â he said. âMath is really a foreign language and unless you understand it, youâre not going to be able to do very well.â
Based on his experience, Pedroso, now president and co-founder of Accutronics Inc., is a supporter of a program that employs UMass Lowell education students who assist in Lowell public schools. The students are undergraduate education majors or STEM majors with a minor through the UTeach program, which prepares students to teach science, technology, math or engineering.
Lowell, Mass., did it right confronting anti-Semitism. Not so right when Manhattan dealt with distortions on Israel.
Thirty miles north of Boston, a school board member uttered an anti-Jewish slur on a live television show while a Saturday Night Live cast member vaguely joked about Israel’s Covid-19 vaccine distribution.
The flap in Lowell commenced last week, February 24, when Robert Hoey Jr., a 66-year-old member of the Lowell School Committee, said: “We lost the k , oh, I mean the Jewish guy. I hate to say it, but that’s what people used to say behind his back – Gary Frisch…He was the guy in charge of our budget.”
