Keefe was joined by a group of Beachmont residents who came to voice their support for the legacy garden and their approval that it will be named for Tye. “We all worked together on this,” said Mercurio. “It’s a fi tting tribute to someone who gave so much to the city of Revere.” LEGACY GARDEN | SEE Page 4 Carol Tye Former educator to be honored for legacy of service 781-286-8500 Friday, May 22, 2026 Revere Leaders Back Senator Ed Markey for Re-Election Mayor Keefe, Senator Edwards, Representatives Giannino and Turco, and Councillor Paul Argenzio back Markey’s fi ght for working families, health care, workers’ rights, transit, and climate resilience B OSTON, Mass. — Revere leaders today endorsed Senator Ed Markey for re-election to the Senate, backing his fi ght for working families, immigrant communities, seniors, strong public schools, small businesses, workers’ rights, and neighborhoods facing the growing threat of climate change.

RE-ELECTION | SEE Page 2 Broadway property owner questions school bus driver’s conduct after alleged hit-and-run fence crash By Th e Advocate A Massachusetts physician and Broadway property owner is calling on city offi - cials to identify a school bus driver accused of leaving the scene after a bus struck and damaged a fence on his property last month. In a letter dated May 17 to Mayor Patrick M. Keefe Jr. and Superintendent of Schools Dr. Dianne Kelly, Dr. Randall S. Bock said a school bus owned by Eastern Bus Company of Somerville hit a fence at his Revere property, which is located beside 354 Broadway, on April 17 at about 12:50 p.m. and then allegedly drove away without stopping. Bock said the incident was captured on video and identifi ed the vehicle as a bus bearing Mass. license plate 44277. “The damaged fence is the least important fact,” Bock wrote, arguing that the driver’s decision to leave the scene raises broader questions about judgment and responsibility for someone entrusted with transporting children. According to the letter, Bock alleges the driver failed to identify himself, leave notice or report the incident. He characterized the conduct as leaving the scene of property damage under Massachusetts law. Eastern Bus Company and its insurer, Philadelphia Insurance Companies, have not addressed his questions in writing, Bock said. Bock said he fi led complaints with the Mass. Registry of Motor Vehicles’ School Pupil Transportation Unit, the Mass. Dept. of Public Utilities and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. He also said he fi led a police report with the Revere Police Dept. and prepared an application for a criminal complaint in Chelsea District Court. The physician asked city officials whether Revere Public Schools currently contracts with Eastern Bus Company for transportation services and whether the district would seek the identity of the driver operating the bus at the time of the incident. He also asked whether the driver is still transporting students and what standards the district applies when a transportation vendor’s driver allegedly leaves the scene of a documented incident involving a school bus. “I have no personal fi nancial interest in the answers,” Bock wrote. “The fence is repaired and that question is being addressed through other channels.” Instead, he said, his concern is whether “a person who runs from a stationary fence” should continue driving children. City offi cials and Eastern Bus Company did not immediately respond to requests for comment Sunday. A security camera catches a school bus allegedly hitting the fence as it heads towards Broadway from the rear of 354 Broadway. The property owner is seeking the identity of the school bus driver and the city’s relationship with the company. (Courtesy photo)
Page 2 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 22, 2026 RE-ELECTION | FROM Page 1 The leaders cited Senator Markey’s record of delivering for Revere — from fi ghting back against Donald Trump’s Medicaid cuts and standing with workers demanding safer conditions, to securing federal investments for the Wonderland transit corridor, senior housing, and climate resilience along Revere’s shoreline. “Revere is a union city, an immigrant city, and a workingclass city — and Senator Ed Markey understands what that means,” said Revere Mayor Patrick Keefe. “When our families need affordable health care, when our public schools need more federal funding, when our seniors need housing security, and when our workers need a fighter, Senator Markey always shows up and delivers. He stood with us in Revere against Trump’s Medicaid cuts, and he stood with warehouse workers outside Amazon to demand safety, dignity, and fair working conditions. Revere needs a senator who fi ghts for working families, and that senator is Ed Markey.” “This election is about who is fighting for working families in Revere — on aff ordabili“WE’RE STILL HERE!” Since 1947 MALDEN AUTO BODY Book online: Maldenauto.com 49 Robin St., Everett, MA 617-389-3030 * Maldenab@yahoo.com Over 79 years of exceptional service!

He understands the importance of investing in working-class communities, and I am proud to Edward Markey US Senator ty, health care, housing, public schools, immigrant rights, and the future of our shoreline,” said State Senator Lydia Edwards. “Ed Markey has always stood with working families — defending Medicaid from Trump’s cuts, fi ghting for climate resilience along our shoreline, and delivering federal investments that strengthen Revere’s future. At a time when families are being squeezed and our communities are under attack, we need to send Ed Markey back to the Senate because he is a fi ghter for Revere, for working people, and for all of Massachusetts.” “Revere and Saugus are communities built by working families, immigrants, union members, and people who work hard every single day to give their kids a better life,” said State Representative Jessica Giannino. “Senator Ed Markey has consistently shown up support his re-election.” “What matters to me is whether we have a leader in Washington who delivers for Revere — for our veterans, our seniors, our first responders, our students, our small businesses, and the working families who keep this district running,” said State Representative Jeffrey Turco. “Senator Markey has delivered, from federal transit investments at Wonderland to fi ghting back against Medicaid cuts that would devastate families and community health care. He has earned my support.” “Senator Ed Markey has always understood that communities like Revere deserve a government that sees us, hears us, and delivers for us. Ed has fought for environmental justice, immigrant justice, workers’ rights, aff ordable housing, and a fair economy that gives every family a real shot,” said Juan Jaramillo, a former city councillor. “From protecting frontline communities from pollution and climate change to standing up for civil rights and dignity for all, Ed brings justice to the center of every fi ght. I’m proud to support his re-election because Revere and Massachusetts need a Senator who shows up, listens, and never backs down.” “Senator Ed Markey has been a strong partner for communities like Revere — a city that knows the importance of good jobs, safe neighborhoods, reliable public transit, and protecting our coast from the climate crisis,” said City Councillor Paul Argenzio. “Ed understands the needs of working families and has always fought to bring resources back to Massachusetts. I’m proud to support his re-election because Revere needs a Senator who shows up, listens, and delivers.” Senator Markey thanked the Revere elected leaders for their support: “Revere is a working-class city that knows what it means to fi ght — for a good job, a safe workplace, affordable health care, secure housing, strong public schools, and a better future for the next generation,” said Senator Ed Markey. “That is the fi ght I carry with me every day in the Senate. I am proud to earn the endorsements of Revere’s elected leaders, because they know what Revere families know: workers deserve dignity, seniors deserve security, immigrants deserve respect, and every family deserves a fair shot.

THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, MAY 22, 2026 Page 3 Revere School Committee Approves $164.3M Budget Amid Enrollment Decline By Barbara Taormina T he School Commit - tee approved a balanced $164,257,800 budget at their meeting this week. It has been a long and diffi - cult budget season for the committee, which started working on the numbers in January. The committee began with a $9.1million defi cit, due primarily to a decrease in enrollment. The Revere student population has declined by 323 students this year, which triggers a $6 million cut in state fi nancial support. The committee voted to use $2.6 million from the district’s reserve fund. Committee members acknowledged that they need to track spending carefully because they anticipate new costs next year with the new high school and the McKinley Early Education Center. The committee voted on spending divided into series of what District Business Manager Matthew Kruse called cost centers. The fi rst was administration. The committee approved spending $3,488,928 on administrative costs. Instructional services, the biggest piece of the budget, was approved at $86,189,104. The committee voted to approve $12,850,363 for other student services. The plant and operations budget was approved at $10,525,512. The committee approved $2,228,938 for insurance and benefi ts and $103,000 for capital investments. Out of district tuition was approved at $17,558,739. Committee Chair Jacqueline Monterroso took a moment to sum up the work on the budget. She compared Revere to other districts, noting the city was one of the few not grappling with defi cits and layoff s. She mentioned that Boston was facing hundreds of layoff s. “When you break it down, we have less than 25 layoff s here,” she said. She also noted that many teachers had voiced their concerns and had been part of the process. But Revere Teachers Association President Jane Chapin disagreed. “Teachers feel their voices have been absent from budget discussions and decisions,” said Chapin. “Our class sizes are too high, our caseloads too large and there is too much deferred maintenance. There are far too many cuts to critical services, especially special education.” Chapin said that while cutting game-changing services for students, the district is maintaining a position for a public relations specialist. She asked the committee to choose the students when deciding the budget. But Anthony Caggiano, who serves as the district’s treasurer, said that despite the 25 layoff s, Revere is managing well. “When we compare ourselves with all the surrounding cities and towns, we’re in a lot better shape.” ANNOUNCES | FROM Page 2 taxpayers and disabled water ratepayers who are having trouble paying their real estate taxes and water and sewer bills because of fi nancial hardship. “This program, funded by the generosity of Revere residents looking to extend a helping hand to those in need, is aimed at helping senior citizens and fi nancially vulnerable individuals,” said Mayor Keefe. “This program will provide some welcome relief for those who meet the criteria.” The Elderly & Disabled Tax Relief Program has been in existence for several years.

The legacy garden project is www.810bargrille.com being driven and funded by the Beachmont Improvement Committee, which has already planted a thousand tulips on the site. The committee sees the legacy garden as an opportunity to create a beautiful and functional public space that fosters neighborhood pride and engagement. And the committee has proven experience.

The biographies of residents’ named on the pavers will be available at the Revere Historical Society. Beachmont Improvement Committee President Kathleen Heiser said the garden will cement Tye’s legacy in the neighborhood. “It’s a promise that the seeds she planted in Revere will continue to grow,” said Heiser, adding that the hope is that the garden will generate more community involvement. Crescent Avenue resident Ed Deveau said he hopes the Tye garden will plant the seed for other legacy gardens around the city. A shared sense of history helps build neighborhood cohesion and commitment. Councillors praised Tye and highlighted their connections to her. Several, like Councillor-atLarge Michelle Kelley, were former students; others had parents who were Tye’s students, to apply, contact Emily at Emoscone@mosconelawboston.com and others knew her from her tireless work in the community. “There is no one in this city who deserves this more,” said Ward 5 Councillor Angela Guarino-Sawaya. Ward 6 Councillor Chris Giannino described Tye’s service to the city as “above and beyond.” Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky called Tye a friend and the greatest choice for the legacy garden. “She was a great teacher, a great superintendent, one of the best this city has ever seen,” he said. “Tonight is a feel-good council meeting,” said City Council President Anthony Zambuto. After a standing ovation, Tye graciously thanked everyone saying she was overwhelmed. She mentioned how she had been at the Council Chamber podium before to oppose council plans and motions. She said the great thing about Revere is that people could be on opposite sides of an issue, disagree and still go on to work for the city. “Thank you for being the wonderful human beings that you are,” Tye told the crowd.
