Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

Andrew Fitch is the representative that will best advocate for the First Berkshire District. I will proudly vote for Andrew on Sept. 1. Andrew's energy, vision, positivity and ability to connect with the community is the kind of representation we need in Boston.

Northern Berkshire County needs his creativity and tenacity to address the issues we face. Our needs are more than "filling pot holes." We need someone who is willing to address the issues of public transportation, urban redevelopment and PILOT funds for our rural communities. Andrew Fitch is the person for this job. He listens, he is in the community and he has the energy that we need to do the job of being our representative. Vote for Andrew Fitch on Sept. 1.

North Adams School Committee Filling Two Seats

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The School Committee is need of new members to fill two unexpired terms until Jan. 1, 2028.
 
The candidates will be voted on by a joint convention of the School Committee and City Council on Oct. 5. 
 
In the two months since the last School Committee meeting, members Emily Daunis and Cody Chamberlain have resigned. 
 
The committee was expected to review the process at its Tuesday meeting but did not. A timeline provided by Mayor Jennifer Macksey, chair of the committee, states the calls for statements of interest will occur on Monday, Aug. 31, along with a pre-convention meeting notice. 
 
Statements of interest and nominations will be accepted via email to btassone@napsk12.org until 2 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 24; these will be disseminated to committee and City Council members four days later. 
 
Any resident of the city of North Adams who is eligible to vote is eligible to be elected to serve on the School Committee.
 
Daunis was elected in this way to the School Committee in 2020 to fill the unexpired term and elected to a four-year term in her own right the following year and again in 2025.
