The City is also involved in a process to build a new High School, possibly in Rivergreen Playground, but that will take years and cost whoknows-what. An overarching idea is to then convert the current High School to a threeor four-grade Middle School. What would happen to the old High School at that point is unknown, but it would be used as a school for a number of years in the meantime. City Council President Robert Van Campen represents Ward 5, in which the school is located. During discussions he often relinquished the Council chair to other members to participate. Earlier in the year, the Council also bandied about a request from DeMaria for over $10 million just to fix the roof on the building to keep it in usable shape and retain insur- LEGAL NOTICE - COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS THE TRIAL COURT PROBATE AND FAMILY COURT Middlesex Probate and Family Court 10-U Commerce Way Woburn, MA 01801 (781) 865-4000 Docket No. MI24P6691EA Estate of: JOHN S.

In August, the Council approved using American Rescue Plan Act funds for the task. Discussion about the plan also came up at School Committee meetings, with members somewhat frustrated but hopeful things would work out. Also, a topic of discussion at multiple City Council meetings were plans to reconfigure some streets and sidewalks to make Everett Square more user friendly and suitable for civic events. In April, May and June, members balked and ultimately rejected a $3 million request from DeMaria, which was to be used in conjunction with $2 million in aid. Under Chairperson Jeanne Cristiano, things at the School Committee calmed down after a tumultuous 2023 due to allegations of misconduct by then Superintendent Priya Tahiliani. She was placed on paid leave and Hart was hired as interim and then permanent Superintendent in late 2023. In January 2024, the School Committee voted to not reinstate Tahiliani, a de facto vote to keep Hart. Tahiliani was hired as Interim Superintendent in Brockton in July. It wasn’t all smooth sailing, however.
