All three candidates for mayor have pulled Nomination Papers this week – as Papers officially became available on Monday morning – and some surprises have already emerged, such as Councilor Michael McLaughlin announcing he won’t run for re-election to the Ward 6 seat and is currently keeping his options open.
Other immediate surprises – as of Tuesday at noon – were School Committeeman Allen Panarese filing for Councilor at-Large; At-Large Councilor Wayne Matewsky filing for Ward 1 Councilor; Council Clerk Mike Mangan filing for Ward 4 School Committee; and Bernie D’Onofrio re-entering public life in running for Ward 6 School Committee.
“Monday was a very busy day,” said City Clerk Sergio Cornelio. “It was a steady flow all day of candidates and incumbents coming in to get their Papers. I’d rather have them in and get their Papers if they are running so we have time to go through the certification process.”
School Committee Has to Reconvene for Another Budget Vote Due to No-Shows by Member – Everett Independent everettindependent.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from everettindependent.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
The Everett School Committee voted 7-2 to move forward with negotiations with the Everett Teachers Association (ETA) and form a plan that would bring willing families back to school throughout the month of March.
Any new plan will only be in effect after an extensive negotiation with teachers that is happening this week, and a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that details every facet of the return plan.
Voting against the plan – which would bring teachers back before vaccination on March 8 and then slowly roll children into hybrid models on March 15 – were Members Allan Panarese and Millie Cardello. Both preferred a plan that would have waited until at least the first vaccination shot to begin going back to hybrid.
