McCarthy advocated for budget measures that allowed for the budget to be more transparent and accountable to the cities and towns that Northeast serves. McCarthy also proposed the implementation of a detailed line item budget format for the school. “The implementation of this budget format allowed for a cost eff ective process to look at all school expenditures to mandate that the budget is fi scally sound as well as being educationally sound,” he said.

He also serves on the school’s Building Committee which is working diligently with the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) and the 12 sending communities to obtain funding for a new state-of-the-art vocational school building on the current site in Wakefi eld. “These are exciting times for the Northeast Family,” said McCarthy, adding that the project is currently in the MSBA’s Feasibility Stage. “The realization that a state of the art facility with all the up to date hightech equipment and technologies is foreseeable within the next few years is evidence of the School Committee’s commitment to seeing this project through to fruition.” During his time on the board, McCarthy has also led the eff ort to have Northeast students do many community projects that enabled cities and towns in the district to complete projects at a very reasonable cost.

Napolitano said this was encouraging news given that Everett is still listed as a “red” community. “That’s important for our residents to know,” he said. “Fatalities have been nonexistent for the past two months.” However, Firicano thinks things could get complicated once again going into fl u season. “The fl u virus and COVID are very similar,” she said. Therefore, she said, it is crucial that the city’s COVID-19 testing sites remain open, adding that any resident who needs a flu test will also be tested for COVID-19.
