PEMBROKE - May 19, 2026 - The Pembroke School Committee kicked off its annual reorganization process, selecting Allison Glennon as its new chair for the upcoming school year. The committee also advanced a sweeping, state-mandated overhaul of its physical restraint policy to strictly regulate timeout and isolation protocols.
The Full Story
The Pembroke School Committee gathered at the North Pembroke Elementary School Library to finalize its internal leadership restructuring for the 2026–2027 school year [01:51]. In a series of consecutive roll-call votes, the group transitioned out of its previous year’s dynamic. Sue Bollinger moved to nominate Allison Glennon as the next committee chair, which passed unanimously in a 5–0 roll call vote [03:02].
The mood grew tense during the subsequent vote for vice chair. While Bollinger was ultimately selected for the role, the nomination passed on a narrow 3–2 split vote, with committee members Katrina Delaney and Katrina Scarsciotti both voting against the choice [04:38], [05:53]. Former Chair David Boyle was then elected as the new committee clerk through a unanimous 5–0 consensus after Scarsciotti declined to serve a consecutive term [06:43], [07:43].
