Pamela Trinward, a lifelong Waterville resident, former state representative and 19-year member of the Board of Education, was elected Monday to chair the board, succeeding Joan Phillips-Sandy, who did not seek re-election in November.
Mayor Jay Coelho told the Waterville Board of Education on Monday night that his daughter, a freshman at Waterville Senior High School, was suspended from school a half day after defending herself when attacked by another student in a school bathroom two weeks ago.
