School Committee member Cliff Sylvia to retire in upcoming year

Dec 22, 2016

School Committee member Cliff Sylvia announced his retirement from the position on Wednesday night following the committee's final meeting of the year.

“I will not be seeking re-election,” said Sylvia, whose term ends in 2017. “I hope that I made a small impact on the School Committee.”

Sylvia has held the position for  five, three-year terms. He urged community members who “care about students” to pull nomination papers for April's Town Elections.

Sylvia ended the night and the year on a positive note, but did not explain the details of his decision.

“I have to my admit that my terms on the School Committee have been very, very rewarding,” he said.
