This week, Cogliandro presented a motion requesting the city and school administration provide the council with a comprehensive report detailing the jurisdictional responsibilities over school property, including areas and matters under the control of the city, areas under the control of the school department and any other departments or entities that hold jurisdiction over school property. What Kelly wants to include in the report is a copy of the city’s 20-year-old policy, informed by state law, that gives the School Committee exclusive authority over memorials and school names. Kelly said she’s just enforcing the policy on behalf of the School Committee, during a 8 Norwood St. Everett (617) 387-9810 Open Tues. - Sat. at 4:00 PM Closed Sun. & Mon.

Cogliandro explained his motion was borne out of frustration for having the memorial for Chavarria denied. “It was turned down by the Superintendent saying we didn’t have the purview to vote this in. What was worse was an email went out saying don’t make any memorials, don’t talk about it,” he said. Cogliandro added he was beside himself that there was no eff ort for school department and the city to collaborate on a memorial for Chavarria. “When a young man battles leukemia, and still has a great attitude, gives everything he has and still lights up a room, he deserves to be recognized,” said Cogliandro. “I’m not sure why the Superintendent turned it down other than it wasn’t within our purview. My heart goes out to Chris’ family because this would have been awesome.” Cogliandro said his new motion was for any future instances of memorials on school properRevereTV | FROM Page 2 www.810bargrille.com Cedar impression half rounds Harvey Vinyl Replacement Windows Custom Aluminum Trim work Windows & Doors Top quality Vinyl Siding! •Vinyl Siding •Carpentry Work •Decks •Roofing •Free Estimates •Replacement Windows •Fully Licensed •Fully Insured Everett Aluminum Supplies Celebrating 66 Years in Business Since 1958!

Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna shared a piece of history to help the council understand the superintendent’s decision. She reminded fellow councillors that a few years ago, a Revere High student was killed on Revere Beach. His friends came to the council and asked for a memorial mural to be installed at the basketball court at Lincoln School. The mural was also denied. McKenna couldn’t recall if Kelly came to the council to explain but she remembered Kelly’s reasoning. “She just didn’t want to make the schools memorials, and the proposed mural died in the water,” said McKenna who added she supported Cogliandro’s motion for a report.

Councillor-at-Large Anthony Zambuto didn’t hide his frustration with the decision to turn down the proposed memorial for Chavarria. “I am not pleased with the response from the superintendent,” said Zambuto. “It seems that the city council is only good to be bullied into funding a high school. I’ve had it with the tactics of the superintendent. It’s a disgrace to turn down this memorial. I’m very angry about this. It’s a disgrace to turn this down and pull this jurisdiction stuff when we just funded a half-a-billion-dollar high school.” Cogliandro ended the discussion with a point directed at the school administration. “If they are worried about memorials, the name of the school is Abraham Lincoln.” those that have RCN on channels 3 and 614.
