Burns not seeking reelection to School Committee

Denise BurnsDenise Burns is not running for reelection to the School Committee because she expects to move to to Maine.

As she drops out of the School Committee race for the April Town Election, and as the other incumbent, Ron Spangler, has declined to run, two seats are now wide open to a field of five. They are Kirsi C. Allison-Ampe, Teresa Bottoni, Kurt Fusaris, Kenneth W. Hughes and Judson L. Pierce.

To Burns's surprise, Kevin Greeley, chairman of the Board of Selectmen, broke the news Monday night. "Arlington will be less without her," he said.

This kind of journalism encourages members of a community to write about that community. The writing may be reporting, or it may be opinion.
