BOSTON As towns on the Cape gear up for a spring of municipal elections, with seats on the ballot ranging from school committee to town moderator, several local political activists say some of these races while nonpartisan on paper have become framed in part by national politics.
Organizers on both sides of the political spectrum agreed the region’s politics can be divisive, though they disagreed on who was responsible.
Still, this new focus on local contests could help bolster civic engagement, they said, regardless of which candidates ultimately get elected.
“I do think it’s coming right down to this level now,” Paula Miller, a Brewster resident and member of United Cape Patriots, said of the partisanship. “I think the intensity is really being brought to bear.”
Most high schools on the Cape will beat that state deadline.
Five schools Barnstable High School, Falmouth High School, Sturgis Charter Public School in Hyannis, Dennis-Yarmouth Regional School in South Yarmouth and Monomoy Regional High School in Harwich plan to resume in-person classes five days a week starting Monday.
Two high schools Mashpee Middle High School and Bourne High School brought students back to the buildings full-time this past Monday.
And Nauset Regional High School in Eastham plans to have all students in their physical classrooms by May 10.
Only Sandwich High School, Upper Cape Cod Regional Technical High School in Bourne and Cape Cod Regional Technical High School in Harwich are waiting to resume full-time, in-person classes until May 17.
