Hingham School Committee votes to name high school track for Fred Jewett
Summary
The Hingham School Committee voted May 18 to name the Hingham High School track "the Fred Jewett Track at Michaelson Field" after receiving community input; the motion passed following a second and a voice vote.
The Hingham School Committee voted May 18 to name the Hingham High School track the Fred Jewett Track at Michaelson Field following a week of public input.
The committee revisited the item from last week and, after noting community support, Ally Anderson moved to name the track, saying, "I will make a motion to name the Hingham High School track and honor Fred Jewett with the name the Fred Jewett track at Michaelson Field." The motion was seconded and the committee approved the naming by voice vote.
The naming item had been left open after a prior discussion to give additional time for public comment. Chair John Benham said the committee had received messages supporting the designation and that several community members had spoken on the matter at the earlier session.
The committee did not record further conditions or related actions tied to the naming during the open session. The committee moved on to other unfinished business after the vote; the meeting later adjourned to executive session for bargaining and litigation matters.
