Mayor, school board member Khoury fire back after Dias seeks censure

A recent shakeup of the city’s public school district leadership sent the superintendent packing, revealed the results of a state report, and saw a Department of Elementary and Secondary Education commissioner attend a meeting. In the aftermath, one School Committee member is seeking “accountability” from the committee’s chair and another member. 

 

School Committee member Collin Dias shared with The Herald News a copy of a resolution he drafted of a request to formally censure School Committee Chairman and Mayor Paul Coogan and School Committee member Thomas Khoury. 

 

Dias said the resolution is a symbolic reminder to members that the committee is committed to “transparency,” “professionalism,” “ethical conduct” and an “adherence to its policies.” 

 

“My goal here is simple,” Dias wrote in an email. “Acknowledge the issues, reaffirm our standards, and focus on making this committee work better for everyone.”
