THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, DECEmbER 22, 2023 Page 23 HART | FROM PAGE 6 reelection, asked about dealing with absenteeism. “To the extent we can be an advocate in the district and in conversation with families as to why students are chronically absent, we have attendance offi cers. It is our duty and obligation within the law to bring students back. Often school is the most welcoming place for them,” stated Hart. At-Large member Samantha Lambert relayed citizen questions about the importance of early education and the tenor of communication and deliberations on the School Committee and in the School Department. Hart answered, “If we don’t do pre-K right, students won’t be successful in education. We see students struggle because of problems in pre-K-12 education. You have to make sure you identify weaknesses and correct them.” He also said he “welcomed civil discourse. We need to foster an environment to have real conversations not campaigns of misinformation. It’s not just from one side. It’s everybody. I know people are hurting and haven’t gotten what they’ve deserved. We can agree to disagree and you’ll always have a voice in me. Disagreements shouldn’t be based on hate but on philosophical diff erences.” In his remarks at the end of his last meeting as a member, McLaughlin lamented, “We’ve seen some ugly moments.” The other candidate, Kimberly Fricker, the Assistant Superintendent of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District in California, was interviewed before Hart. She answered many questions similarly. “You have to understand the reasons a student is not attending,” she said regarding absenteeism. “If there’s a transportation issue, we can work that out.” It was unlikely; however, she’d be chosen given Hart’s position and her taking care of a sick parent in Michigan. Following the interviews, McLaughlin called any decision a tough choice, stating, “We heard two candidates who could do a phenomenal job and serve the city well, but based on what I’ve seen over the last six weeks, there’s clarity in welcoming everyone, not getting into the trenches of politics and not letting pettiness get in the way of doing what they had to do.” “It’s a hard decision,” Ward 1 member Millie Cardello, who also lost a bid for reelection, agreed, “although I think both would do a good job; I know Mr. Hart’s heart is in Everett.” In discussion, Lambert asked the decision to be delayed to allow for deeper consideration, to no avail. After the initial vote, McLaughlin offered an immediate motion of reconsideration to preclude any future reconsideration. It was defeated unanimously. In remarks after the deliberations, DeMaria congratulated retiring Chair and Ward 4 member Michael Mangan on the selection process. “This wasn’t a rushed job; it was open and transparent,” stated DeMaria. The mayor pointed out the many bad actors who have continually politicized the meetings and hijacked the public comment with offensive remarks turning the public meetings into a circus. Many parents have complained that it’s the same people who never off er any meaningful remarks – only petty comments against the mayor and school board members. The mayor congratulated the members on their vote to hire the best person to lead the Everett Public Schools who not only has the credentials and experience in education but will move forward for the betterment of all of Everett’s students’ education.
