Abolition of School Board Debated at City Council
At last night's Common Council meeting President O'Brien delayed announcing committee assignments to seek member input. The major action pushed was a motion by Mr. O Callaghan to petition the General Court to abolish the School Board and replace it with non salaried school commissioners appointed by the Mayor for at least five year terms. The council also blocked several attempts to create special committees while approving other measures including a bond issue and a plan to study Tremont Street widening.
