Candidates Sought for Vacant North Adams School Committee Seat

By Tammy Daniels iBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The School Committee is seeking candidates to fill a vacancy on the committee. 
 
Letters of interest should be submitted to Bobbi Tassone, administrative assistant to the superintendent, at btassone@napsk12.org by 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 6. 
 
The School Committee and City Council will hear from candidates and vote for the new committee member at the council's regular meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 13.
 
The schedule presented by Mayor Jennifer Macksey was approved at the School Committee's meeting on Tuesday. 
 
The successful candidate will fill the four-year seat won by Chelsey Lyn Ciolkowski in the Nov. 4 election. Ciolkowski withdrew from consideration but not before her name was printed on the ballot, and she earned enough votes for third place in the four-way race for three seats. 
 
School Committee member Richard Alcombright questioned the timing of the process as there is not a vacancy until Jan. 1, and that, technically, Ciolkowski has not resigned.
 
Alcombright is not returning to the committee; his colleagues Emily Daunis and David Sookey both won re-election.
