Joseph Lamonica

At the Everett School Committee meeting on Monday, June 1, 2026, Joseph Lamonica’s participation was limited to brief procedural support and recorded votes. He twice seconded motions and voted in favor of the committee’s routine business items.

Early in the meeting, Lamonica seconded the motion to close public comment. His verbal contribution at that point was a simple, “Second.” He then voted “yes” on the motion to close public comment.

Later, when the committee considered financial matters, Lamonica voted “yes” on the motion to “submit bills and payroll in the amount of $2,271,989.40.” He also voted “yes” on the related motion to “pay bills and payroll in the amount of $2,271,989.40.” In both instances, his position was supportive of moving the financial items forward without objection.

Toward the end of the meeting, Lamonica again played a procedural role by seconding the motion to enter executive session. His recorded response was again “Second.” He then voted “yes” on the motion to “Go into executive session and adjourn into executive session not coming back for a public committee.” That vote supported the committee’s move into a non-public session and its decision not to return to open meeting afterward.

Across the meeting, Lamonica did not appear to raise questions or offer extended remarks. The record reflects only his brief seconding statements — “Second.” and “Yes.” — and unanimous support for the procedural and financial motions listed above. His participation was consistent with a member affirming the committee’s agenda actions and administrative approvals.

At the Everett School Committee meeting on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, Joseph Lamonica participated primarily through procedural motions and roll-call votes.

During the first public hearing, on item number 1, the fiscal 2027 budget, Lamonica moved to support the committee’s handling of the hearing process by seconding the motion to open the public hearing. When the roll call was taken, he voted “yes” on opening the hearing. Later in the same agenda item, he again took a procedural role by seconding the motion to close the fiscal year 2027 budget hearing, and he voted “yes” on closing it.

The committee then moved to the public hearing on school choice. Lamonica voted “yes” on the motion to open that hearing. After the hearing concluded, he also voted “yes” on the motion to close the public hearing on school choice.

At the end of the meeting, Lamonica again seconded a procedural motion, this time the motion to adjourn. He also voted “yes” on adjournment.

The extracted record shows three brief spoken remarks attributed to Lamonica: “Second.”, “Second.”, and “Yes.” These statements align with his role in seconding motions and affirming votes during the meeting. No substantive policy questions, debate statements, or extended positions were captured in the available record. His participation was limited to procedural support for opening and closing the two public hearings, as well as adjourning the meeting.
