The condition improved somewhat after the asphalt patching due to Mark contacting the landlord and subsequently the maintenance contractor. Many thanks.” Precinct 6 Town Meeting Member Jeanie Bartolo – our most prolific “shout out” contributor and the reader who initiated the idea to this column several years ago – offered the following praise: “I have a “Shout Out” for Michael Hashem for stepping up to the plate as School Superintendent. Thank you Mike for once again coming to the rescue!” She was referring to Hashem’s willingness to accept the role as acting superintendent while Saugus Public Schools Superintendent Erin McMahon remains on paid leave pending the outcome of an investigation into alleged misconduct. In 2016, Hashem stepped aside as Saugus High School principal to assume the role as an interim superintendent. THE SOUNDS | SEE PAGE 14
