Mansfield School Committee Vote on Chair and Vice Chair.

With two new members and a new chair and vice chair, the May 21 meeting of the Mansfield School Committee was one for adjustments

Initially, newcomer Lynn Cavicci nominated chair Michael Townbridge for another year in the position, citing the need for experience with the recent loss of two experienced members.

"We lost a lot of experience, we need someone who can lead the board this year," Cavicci said.

Townbridge found a challenger to the position when Wayne Smith nominated vice-chair Kiera O'Neil. Ready to pass the torch, Townbridge removed his name from nomination to give O'Neil a chance to run the committee.

"If Kiera feels she is ready to be chair and has the time, I’ll withdraw," Townbridge said.

O'Neill was named the new chair with a 5-0 vote. 

After nominating O'Neil for chair, Smith also nominated Townbridge for vice-chair but once again the now former chair withdrew his name.

After getting nominated by Townbridge, Smith was voted the new-vice chair unanimously.
