Votes at a glance: Jan. 21 Revere School Committee meeting
Summary
The school committee approved the consent calendar and school improvement plans, rejected motions to move meeting location and to rename a subcommittee, and voted to enter executive session.
The Revere School Committee took several procedural and governance votes on Jan. 21. Key outcomes:
- Consent calendar: Approved by roll call. (No formal objections recorded during the meeting.)
- Move meeting location to City Council chambers: Motion by School Committee member Miss Monterosso to change the regular location to City Council chambers; motion was seconded. Roll call resulted in a majority “No” vote and the motion failed. Chair explained a “Yes” vote would have changed the location; a “No” vote maintained meetings in the current School Committee Chambers.
- Accept school improvement plans: Motion to accept school improvement plans (11 plans) — motion seconded and approved by roll call.
- Rename Health and Special Education subcommittee to Student Supports: Motion to change the subcommittee name was seconded; roll call returned a majority “No” and the motion failed.
- Enter executive session (M.G.L. c.30A, §21(a), purpose 2): Motion to enter executive session carried on a roll call; the committee stated it would not return to open session that evening.
The committee also voted to close the public comment period earlier in the meeting and recessed briefly for a photo recognition; those procedural items passed by unanimous voice or consent.
Vote records (as recited in public roll calls) included the following members: Mrs. Bronson Rizzo (vote recorded), Mr. Caggiano (vote recorded), Mr. Kingston (vote recorded), Mrs. Milbury Ellis (vote recorded), Ms. Monterosso (vote recorded), Mr. Sunella (vote recorded), and Mayor Keefe (vote recorded). The meeting recorded roll‑call tallies verbally by member during each vote; the official minutes should be consulted for verbatim tallies and mover/second attribution for each motion.
