The Rochester Board of Selectmen held a brief special meeting last Thursday, April 26, to appoint two Old Colony Regional Vocational Technical High School District School Committee members and handle a few small agenda items.
The selectmen, during the joint meeting with the Old Colony R.V.T.H.S. District Committee, re-appointed Shirley Bourque as a committee member and appointed Sharon Cruz to occupy the remaining one-year position of a committee member who moved away from the area.
Cruz has participated in the school council at Old Colony and has also participated in the establishment of a school improvement plan.
“When this position went up, I thought it would be the time, or place, for me to continue to support the staff and students of that school,” Cruz said.
Old Colony R.V.T.H.S. District Committee Chairman Kirby Gilmore congratulated Cruz and welcomed her to the committee.
The selectmen also signed the annual committee appointments for the Town of Rochester and referred the proposed Annual Town Meeting Warrant article to amend the Town’s large-scale solar photovoltaic (solar farm) bylaw to the Planning Board to hold a public hearing ahead of Town Meeting.
The next regular meeting of the Rochester Board of Selectmen is scheduled for May 7 at 6:00 pm at the Rochester Town Hall.
