Medford -
It’s a changing of the guard, as sweeping changes took place on the Medford School Committee tonight, with no less than four newcomers pushing out incumbents.
Both City Council incumbents and Mayor Michael J. McGlynn were voted back in.
George Scarpelli topped the School Committee ticket, with 4,162 votes followed closely by fellow newcomer John Falco with 3,849 votes. Challengers Sharon Guzik and William O’Keefe also swept into office with 3,374 and 3,155 votes respectively.
The night’s voting left only two incumbents — Ann Marie Cugno and Paulette Van der Kloot — holding on to their seats with 3,657 and 3,182 votes each.
Long-time School Committee members William Brady, Robert E. Skerry Jr. and Lena DiGiantommaso were ousted, much to the surprise of onlookers in City Hall waiting for the evening’s results.
