Seekonk School Committee Appointments Made

With two unanimous votes, the Seekonk Board of Selectmen and School Committee on Wednesday night appointed David Mullen and David Abbott to fill vacant seats on the school committee.

The new committee members will finish the terms of Fran Creamer and David Quinn, who recently resigned because they are moving out of Seekonk. Both terms end in April.

Six of the seven applicants who had applied for the seats were drilled with questions from selectmen, school committee members and a resident. Mullen and Abbott were the only applicants who said they did not plan to run for election in April.
