Incumbent Joel Monteiro Wins Re-Election

In a surprise eleventh hour decision, former school committee and city council member Chrissy Rossi re-entered the school committee-at-large race against incumbent Joel Monteiro. Rossi had withdrawn from the race due to family illness but did so too late to have her name removed from the ballot. However after family health matters improved, Rossi put out the word that she was running officially. Her announcement came just a day or two before the election. After the election Rossi said, "I am grateful for your support and humbled by the sheer volume of votes. I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart. I wish Mr. Monteiro and the rest of the committee a positive new term filled with smiling children, happy employees and the spirit of cooperation to elevate our district to great heights. Best wishes in your next term Mr. Monteiro. Monteiro was reelected by a count of 7690 to 7144 over Rossi.
