Pressure had been building on Oliver-Davila to resign, following Rivera’s departure Friday. He then resigned, which led to Oliver-Davila taking the reins.Īcting Mayor Kim Janey, when asked if the recent string of school committee incidents warrants a deeper look into the body, avoided the question saying she “appreciates” the work of the school committee, adding, “Certainly we want to ensure that this body in particular is well-represented and with the loss of school committee members, Latina school committee members, it is a huge void, a huge loss.”
During the same meeting last year, then-chair Michael Loconto was caught seeming to mock Asian names during a Zoom call. The texts came during a school committee meeting over exam school policy. She said what people were saying in the meeting “brought me back” to racism she’d experienced, adding “I regrettably allowed myself to do what others have done to me.”
