WAKEFIELD -- May 6, 2026, Wakefield School Committee meets for under two minutes, then closes to public for contract talks. The five-member board, Stephen Ingles, Tom Markham, Kevin Scala, Pete Davis, and Kevin Patanella, convened via Zoom on May 6 and voted 5-0 immediately to enter executive session for strategy or negotiations with non-union personnel. The committee did not reconvene in open session, meaning no public report of the session's outcome was delivered that evening. The specific contract or position under negotiation was not disclosed, as permitted under Massachusetts open meeting law.
