School committee votes to return meetings to Fante committee room
Summary
The Revere School Committee approved a motion to relocate its meetings back to the Fante school committee room after brief debate over accessibility and logistics; the motion passed on a roll-call vote with two members opposed.
The Revere School Committee voted to move its regular meetings back to the Fante school committee room after a roll-call vote during the March 17 meeting. The motion, offered by Bronston Rizzo, passed with seven in favor and two opposed.
The debate before the vote centered on whether the Fante room is community friendly and whether the set-up requires extra staff time to rearrange tables and AV equipment. Supporters said the room creates a more conversational atmosphere; opponents said the change imposes additional logistics and may be less accessible for some residents. The committee took the motion by roll call: Mrs. Bisella, Mrs. Bronston Rizzo, Mr. Kajiano, Mr. Damiano, Mr. Kingston, Mr. Rini and Mayor Keefe voted yes; Miss Milberry Ellis and Miss Merroso voted no. The motion was recorded as passed.
Committee members noted that policy staff are preparing a recording and meeting‑location update and that any operational details (AV setup, room configuration) will be addressed before future meetings. The committee indicated the relocation will be reflected in the schedule for upcoming sessions.
