Meghan Glenn Elected as Interim Medfield School Committee Member

The Medfield School Committee and Board of Selectmen jointly appointed Meghan Glenn to fill Tim Bonfatti’s School Committee seat at a special election on October 16.

On September 4, Mr. Bonfatti announced that he would resign after the September 17 School Committee Meeting. Mrs. Glenn submitted a letter of interest after Tim Bonfatti’s initial announcement. Mr. Bonfatti served on the School Committee for thirteen years, and continues to serve on the Medfield Permanent Building and Planning Committee.

An email announcing the vacancy and process for filling Mr. Bonfatti’s seat was sent out to every Medfield Public School family on September 20. Although only Mrs. Glenn submitted a letter of interest before the special election, Meredith Chamberlain was nominated from the floor during the joint meeting. Meghan Glenn was elected by a vote of 6-1. Mrs. Glenn’s seat will be up for election next spring, and she expressed to the Selectmen and the School Committee that she intends to seek re-election at that time.

Mrs. Glenn, currently Vice President of the Blake Middle School PTO, has been heavily involved in the Medfield Public Schools since moving to Medfield almost seven years ago. She served as Chair of the Winter Carnival for four years, as a member of the Wheelock School Site Council for two years and has been on the Superintendent’s Parent Advisory Council for the last three years. Mrs. Glenn also co-chaired the successful “Yes on 1 & 2 for Medfield Schools!” operational override campaign in 2018. Meghan holds a BA from the University of Notre Dame, an M.Ed from DePaul University and previously worked as a high school social studies teacher in Lincolnshire, IL. Her children attend the 3rd, 6th and 8th grades in the Medfield Public Schools.

The Medfield School Committee is comprised of five volunteer Medfield residents elected to three-year terms. For more information or to contact the committee, please email School Committee Chair, Anna Mae O’Shea Brooke at scchair@email.medfield.net, or visit www.medfield.net/school-committee.
