During a recent government meeting, members recognized the contributions of former school committee member Carol Tighe and Tom Scott, past president of the Massachusetts Association of Superintendents, as nominees for this year's Lifetime Achievement Award. The meeting also paid tribute to Toby Cassidy, a beloved educator who served the district for over fifty years. Colleagues shared heartfelt memories of Cassidy's dedication to students and his impactful role in the community. A moment of silence was observed in his honor.

Additionally, the Matera family expressed their gratitude for the community's support through a note sent to the Riviera School Committee and School Department.

In other discussions, it was announced that students will soon elect a representative to serve both CityLab and the high school, with the current representative continuing until the election is completed. The meeting concluded with an invitation for public comments, allowing community members to voice their thoughts and concerns.
