ADDOCCO TEAT Free Every Friday School Committee unanimously approves $146M FY27 budget proposal; no School Choice participation By Neil Zolot he School Committee approved a budget proposal of $146,025,399 for Fiscal Year 2027 proposed by Superintendent William Hart by a vote of 9-0 at their meeting on Monday, May 4, with Ward 6 member Joseph D’Onofrio absent. It was preapproved 10-0 by a meeting of the School Committee Subcommittee of the Whole on Thursday, April 16. The budget is comprised of an operating budget of $139,290,473 and a Special Education and Transportation Budget of $6,104,526, which is contributed by the City of Everett and falls outside the net spending requirement of the City required by the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). The new budget is 2.28% higher than the Fiscal Year T William Hart EPS Superintendent 2026 budget of $142,154,420. Superintendent William Hart described the increase as “a modest number that must hold up against rising fi xed costs.” Nevertheless, it will be the largest portion of the overall city budget, which Mayor Robert Van Campen will present to the City Council next week. The Fiscal Year 2026 budget was 47.4% of the City Fiscal Year 2026 budget of $299,719,104. The new budget also includes $36,000,000 in chargebacks from the City, a cap set by Van Campen. The City pays for some things not included in Net School Spending or the school budget but then imposes a charge or chargeback on the School Department to cover those items. In Fiscal Year 2026 it was $35,771,530, with initial estimates for Fiscal Year 2027 at close to $41 million. The cap means the City will pay for everything over $36,000,000. “I want to commend the Mayor for that,” Ward 5 member Marcony Almeida-Barros said. The members also took their customary vote to not participate in School Choice, which would allow the school FY27 BUDGET | SEE PAGE 9 F. J.

During her time with the City, she has helped ensure youth voices are meaningfully represented in DEI initiatives. She also served as a lead producer of “Mariposas,” a City-led exhibit and documentary that explored the Latina immigrant experience in Everett and across the country. The project brought forward deeply personal stories and helped create space for broader community understanding. “Pamela represents the very best of Everett’s future,” said Mayor Robert J. Van Campen. “Her work on the Mariposas project has given a powerful voice to our community, and this scholarship ensures that her own voice will continue to lead and inspire others.” Pamela Marias Arévalo TheDream.US is the nation’s largest college access and success program for undocumented immigrant youth. As a National Scholar, Pamela will receive up to $33,000 to cover tuition and fees toward a bachelor’s degree, along with additional support for books, supplies and transportation. The scholarship helps students overcome fi nancial barriers to higher education, particularly those who are not eligible for federal fi nancial aid. Since its founding, TheDream.US has supported more than 11,000 students across the country. Pamela’s achievement highlights both her individual dedication and the impact of creating opportunities for young people in Everett to grow, lead and be heard.

Davine and Massachusetts Firefi ghting Academy leadership today announced the graduation of 26 fi refi ghters from the 50-day Career Recruit Firefi ghting Training Program. Video of the ceremony will be posted to the Department of Fire Services YouTube channel this afternoon. “Massachusetts firefighters are on the frontlines protecting their communities every day, and today’s graduates are needed now more than ever,” said State Fire Marshal Davine. “The hundreds of hours of foundational training they’ve received will provide them with the physical, mental, and technical skills to perform their jobs eff ectively and safely.” “Massachusetts Firefighting Academy instructors draw on decades of experience in the fi re service to train new recruits,” said MFA Recruit Program Coordinator Dean Babineau. “Through consistent classroom instruction and practical exercises, today’s graduates have developed the tools they’ll need to work seamlessly with veteran fi refi ghters in their home departments and in neighboring communities as mutual aid.” The graduating fi refi ghters of Career Recruit Class #338 repreRepresenting Everett, from left to right: Andrew Collyer, Michael Russo (Outstanding Student of Class #338), and Erick Thompson. (Courtesy photo) sent the fi re departments of Andover, Ashland, Attleboro, Beverly, Chelmsford, Dover, Everett, Lawrence, Medford, Nantucket, North Reading, Revere, Southborough, Tewksbury, Wakefi eld, Walpole, and Westford. The Richard N. Bangs Outstanding Student Award, which is presented to one recruit in each graduating career recruit training class, was presented to Firefi ghter Michael Russo of the Everett Fire Department. The award is named for a longtime chair of the Massachusetts Fire Training Council and reflects the recruit’s academic and practical skills, testing, and evaluations over the course of the 10week program. Students receive classroom training in all basic fi refi ghter skills. They practice fi rst under non-fi re conditions and then during controlled fire conditions. To graduate, students must demonstrate proficiency in life safety, search and rescue, ladder operations, water supply, pump operation, and fi re attack. Fire attack operations range from mailbox fi res to multiple-fl oor or multiple-room structural fi res. Upon successful completion of the Career Recruit Program, all students have met the national standards of NFPA 1010, Standard for Fire Fighter Professional Qualifi cations, and are certifi ed to the levels of Firefi ghter I/II and Hazardous Materials First Responder Operations by the Massachusetts Fire Training Council, which is accredited by the National Board on Fire Service Professional Qualifi cations. Today’s fi refi ghters do much more than fi ght fi res: They train for and respond to all types of hazards and emergencies. They are the fi rst ones called to respond to chemical and environmental emergencies, ranging from the suspected presence of carbon monoxide to gas leaks to industrial chemical spills. They may be called to rescue a child who has fallen through the ice, an offi ce worker stuck in an elevator, or a motorist trapped in a crashed vehicle. They test and maintain their equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Is Your Estate in Order?

It changes. Your participation in this process helps us make sure we are not just observing how education is changing but how we are adapting to it.” This first-of-its-kind initiative is built around an inclusive, hands-on planning process that builds upon the knowledge, beliefs, and values of stakeholders to identify the highest priorities and action steps to address them. “Together, we will develop a Strategic Plan that will not only be the first of its kind — but one of a kind,” said Superintendent Hart. Supt. of Schools William Hart is shown with Everett High students. (Courtesy photo EPS) “This collaborative process is about turning our aspirations into a plan that delivers for our students and their future,” said Mayor Robert J. Van Campen. Held inside the Everett High School Cafeteria, the gathering featured parents, teachers, administrators, school leaders, elected officials, city leaders, and community partners.

The Strategic Planning Group will meet again on June 4 to identify strategic objectives and priorities — the “what” of the Strategic Plan, Mayo-Brown explained. The third stakeholder meeting will take place on June 22 for the purpose of helping finish the final draft. In between, the EPS leadership team will hold formal meetings with Ms. Mayo-Brown. “We will move deliberately and purposefully to publish the Strategic Plan before the start of the 2026-2027 school year,” said Superintendent Hart. “We are leveraging the energy and spirit of cooperation that defines our city at this moment in time to develop a plan that offers clarity and purpose to faculty, families, and the students we serve.” The stakeholder team members serve in an advisory role by offering perspectives, feedback, and broad recommendations on how to build on the district’s strengths and challenges; to inform the work of the leadership team (subgroup of stakeholder group) charged with developing the strategic plan, and to provide insight and input throughout the implementation of the plan.; and to represent the planning process within the community, providing ongoing two-way communication about progress.

Van Campen and Everett School Superintendent William D. Hart accepted the award in recognition of their leadership and commitment to fostering inclusion in the community and schools. “Everett is one of the original ‘Triangle’ communities, alongside Malden and Medford, and we are thrilled to honor them with this award,” said Triangle, Inc. CEO Rachel Kaprielian. “Our partnership with the school district demonstrates their commitment to disability inclusion and provides Triangle program participants with opportunities to build job skills and earn a paycheck.” More than 200 guests attended Triangle’s annual awards ceremony and fundraiser, Celebrate, at the Regattabar at the Charles Hotel in Cambridge on April 29, 2026. The event raised $125,000 for Triangle, a Malden-based nonprofi t that off ers innovative and comprehensive programs providing employment and independent living skills for people with disabilities. Each year, four Triangle program participants work three days per week as a team to clean up school buildings in Everett, earning a paycheck while they build their employment skills. Group employment is often the springboard Triangle participants need on their pathway to competitive employment. Since starting its Inclusion Community program in late 2024, eight municipal partnerships have created more than 25 new employment opportunities for Triangle participants.

A vote is required by DESE. Once a student is accepted, that student is enrolled. Although a district receives revenue from the student’s home district or sending district’s Chapter 70 funds, adopting School Choice can create needs for additional local funding related to class sizes requiring additional staff . School Choice revenue would infuse the School Department with new revenue in its fi rst year but would have little or no impact in subsequent years and be like an existing off set like the transportation and facilities rental off sets. The members also accepted a $20,000 grant from the federal Building Early Childhood Partnerships: A Preschool Itinerant Team Initiative for professional development for preschool teachers who provide services for some students in private preschools. “It’s a decent amount of money and will provide training for our staff ,” Assistant Superintendent of Student Services Dennis Lynch said. “These types of grants encourage specifi c training in districts that might not ordinarily happen, and we’ve taken advantage of one,” Hart added. In another item, High School students involved in the Theatre Company production of “Grease” addressed the Committee to inform them and the public about shows on Thursday and Friday, May 7 and 8 at 6:30 p.m. in the auditorium. Admission is $5. The School Committee held a Public Hearing on the budget on Thursday, April 29. A number of parents and educators spoke in favor of the proposal, including Madeline English School Principal Paolo Lambresa and Everett Teachers Association President and Parlin School elementary level teacher Kimberly Auger. “This budget takes important spots by maintaining services,” Lambresa said. “It refl ects a commitment to equity and acknowledges different students require different services.

Prior to this operations memo, MassHealth was not penalizing applicants applying for the PACE program even if they had made transfers of countable assets to family members within five years of submitting an application. MassHealth will now be enforcing the five year look back period for transfers when applying for the PACE program as well as the Frail Elder Waiver Program. Therefore, MassHealth can go back as much as five years to determine if a bank account, for example, was cashed out and given to a son or daughter in order to bring your countable assets below $2,000. The PACE program is a community MassHealth program designed to provide a wide range of medical, social, recreational and wellness services to eligible participants. The PACE program can provide nursing home level care to people in the community if they : • Are 55 years of age or older • Are certified by Massachusetts that they are eligible for nursing home level care • Meet citizenship and residency requirements for MassHealth Standard • Live in the service area Robert Van Campen Mayor of a PACE organization • Are able to live safely in the community, and • Agree to receive health services exclusively through the PACE organization Cambridge Health Alliance located on 195 Canal Street, Malden, Massachusetts is a PACE program provider for people living in Everett, Malden, Medford, Cambridge, Arlington, Belmont, Revere, Somerville, Watertown, and Charlestown. Cambridge Health Alliance is just one example of a PACE program provider. In order to apply for the PACE program, Form SACA-2 would need to be completed and submitted to MassHealth. A single person’s countable assets must be at or below $2,000 and monthly income must be at or below 300% of the federal benefit rate (FBR). The FBR is currently $994 for a single individual. 300% of $994 is $2,982. If your monthly income is greater than $2,982, MassHealth will impose a deductible that you will have to meet every six months. For a married couple, the applicant’s countable assets must be at or below $2,000 while the applicant’s spouse may keep $162,660 in countable assets. Joseph D.

The Crimson Tide won two – Malden (27-9, April 29) and Watertown (9-7, May 1) – before losing two – Triton (11-0, May 2) and Revere (14-7, May 4). It’s a scenario that typifi es the overall season’s rollercoaster ride, but with the weather beginning to warm up, the defending Greater Boston League (GBL) champs should be able to put together a winning streak as a momentum builder for the postseason. “We gave (Watertown) too many runs (on) walks and errors, but the girls still kept on fi ghting,” said coach Stacy Schiavo. “Our pitcher Mia Allen (was able to persevere through) all seven innings, while we got some big hits when we needed them. The bats of Arianna (Osorio-Bonilla), Kyleigh (Ridlon) and Mia were consistent throughout this game, which helped us (in clutch situations).” Allen (7 innings, 8 hits, 7 walks, 5 earned runs, 6 strikeouts) did her job in the circle by going the distance to help secure a solid non-league home win for her teammates. After the Raiders scored three in the first, the Everett girls got one back in the home half. Arianna Osorio-Bonilla led off with a walk. Lindsey Sylva sacrifi ced her to second, before she came home on a single by Ridlon. Watertown tacked on another run in the second, but the Tide tied it up with three when they came to the plate. With runners in scoring position, Osorio-Bonilla delivered a clutch double to bring them both home. She then went to third on a passed ball, before stealing home to account for third run of the inning.

Morgan Salvi brought home the second run of the inning on a hard-hit ball to third. Rivera then scored the team’s seventh run on a passed ball. Watertown got one of those runs back in the fourth, but Everett went up by two with a run of its own in the home half. Ridlon got it going with a two out single, and Allen promptly brought her home with a double. The Raiders chipped away with another run in the fi fth, only to see the Tide match them, once again. Salvi ignited the threat with a walk, and eventually scored on another double by Osorio-Bonilla. Everett was able to hold its Watertown visitors scoreless in the fi nal two innings to account for the sixth win of the year.

Boys volleyball shuts out the Tigers to begin new month T he boys volleyball team (4-10) began the month of May with a satisfying 3-0 shutout win over non-league Lynn Tech at home on May 1. “We had to come from behind to take the first set, 2624, before pulling away late in the second set to win, 25-21,” said coach Mike Fineran after the Tech encounter. “We kept the momentum going into the third set (to win that one rather easily), 25-15.” BUYER2 Suwal, Radhika SELLER1 Degennaro, Domenico Junior Akush Gurung served 18 times, and came up with three aces and four kills to help lead his teammates to victory. Classmate Donart Maksutaj successfully made all 16 of his serves, and as a result ended up with three kills and five blocks. Senior Matheus Teixeira Fernandes led the team with 12 kills. Freshman Miguel Rodovanski contributed six kills and two blocks to the winning cause. Senior captain Victor Rosa was credited with nine serves, three aces and five kills, which also helped secure this win. The Tide, however, lost to host Lynn English on Monday, May 4, in straight sets. Sophomore Danilo Teixeira Fernandes had an ace and two kills out of the setter spot. His brother Matheus was successful on 12 of his 13 serves, while also leading the team in kills with eight. Rosa was seven-for-seven in serves with one kill. Senior Noel Lopez Ardon was a perfect six-for-six in serves with an ace. Gustavo Franca also didn’t miss his serves. Fineran has a simple explanation for the English loss. “We could not generate enough blocks to shut down their attack,” he said. The Tide closed out this week against Somerville on May 6 after press deadline. They will next be hosting Revere on Monday, May 11, at 5:15 p.m., before heading to Medford to face the Mustangs two days later. This match will begin at 5:30 p.m. SELLER2 Degennaro, Kirsten Tide baseball drops close call to Revere T he youthful Tide baseball team (2-11) dropped its two most recent games against host Mystic Valley (16-6, May 1) and visiting Revere (3-0, May 4). Coach Malik Love is in the middle of a rebuilding year that has the usual growing pains, but there have been some encouraging signs for a brighter future. After the game against Mystic Valley, Love says that the team was competing early on. “Nick Young (2.2 innings) pitched well, but overall, we have to continue to improve on the mound to force opposing hitters to earn the bags,” he added. “We tend to fall behind in counts, and as a result we are forced to battle back.” Love also mentioned that the defense “has to make the routine play.” But he still also sees improvement each week in that department, and knows it will continue. Derek Soper (7 innings, 5 hits, 3 runs, 2 earned, 3 walks, 5 strikeouts) pitched an “efficient game” against Revere on Monday, according to Love. “Soper pitched (all seven innings), and was always in the strike zone,” he added. But the offense in this game was a different story. “We didn’t take advantage of our chances, ADDRESS 139-141 Bucknam St CITY Everett when we had them,” the veteran Everett coach said. Tyler Freni and M.J. Guida were credited with one single apiece. Guida also stole one base. Love knows that his young players definitely have “more confidence” since the start of the season, and “they will continue to grow” throughout the DATE 04.13.26 PRICE 1042000 second half of the season. The Everett boys took on host Lynn English Wednesday night (May 6) after press deadline. They will be back at Lynn’s Fraser Field Friday night, May 8, to face non-league Lynn Tech, starting at 7 p.m. They will be at Chelsea (May 11, 4 p.m.) and Medford (May 13, 4 p.m.) next week.
