THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – Friday, February 22, 2019 Page 5 Legal representation for School Committee remains uncertain entering collective bargaining By Christopher Roberson T he School Committee recently voted to return to its Legal Subcommittee for further discussion regarding legal representation for the upcoming collective bargaining negotiations. During the committee’s Feb. 19 meeting, Ward 3 Member Frank Parker made a motion to have the committee represented by Braintree law fi rm Murphy, Lamere & Murphy. “They are proven, we know who they are,” said Parker, adding that the fi rm is comprised of nine attorneys. He also reminded his colleagues that the committee’s decisions have a direct impact on the district’s 7,200 students and 800 employees. Therefore, having excellent legal representation is imperative. “Let’s sign these contracts,” said Parker. However, Member-at-Large Berardino D’Onofrio did not agree, saying the committee already has adequate representation from Attorney Robert Galvin. “This is what Bob Galvin was hired for,” he said. Parker’s motion was subsequently defeated by a 2-7 roll call vote. Upcoming events In other news, Galvin will be conducting an Opening Meeting Law Training Workshop for the committee on March 11 at the School Administration Building.
