THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, NOVEmbER 3, 2023 Page 31 ELECTION | FROM PAGE 15 A hot-button issue in School Committee meetings has been whether any decision regarding Superintendent Priya Tahiliani should be left up to a new roster of members, but current Chairperson Mangan said a decision will be made this year before any new members take offi ce in 2024, although he’s invited any new members to sit in on interviews and deliberations. Given recent events Sarnie said she hopes “things get to a better place so the community can come together.” D’Onofrio said his campaign is “going well. We’ve been holding signs, targeting the right people and getting the word out. I’ve gotten positive feedback. The work I put into this has been positive.” Only 12% of approximately 22,000 registered voters in a city of approximately 49,000 people voted on September 19, and City Clerk and Election Commission Chair Sergio Cornelio expects it to be a still low 25% on November 7. “We have more voters but lower turnouts,” he said. “Percentage-wise it’s gone down in municipal elections,” he said. “For the last decade, it’s been the trend.” He feels there will be more during the presidential election year next year.
