@dpangallo.bsky.socialWe’re expecting a LOT of people to visit #SalemMA this long weekend. If you’re among them:
1. Be patient and be respectful: Salem is a real city, not a theme park.
2. Plan ahead. Things sell out early and many restaurants require reservations.
3. Take public transit. If you choose to drive, well…
@dpangallo.bsky.socialLots of smiles at the Bentley Academy Innovation School family potluck in #SalemMA last night!
@dpangallo.bsky.socialA pleasure to welcome MA Secretary of Education Steve Zrike back to #SalemMA for the latest North Shore Alliance Policymakers Series. Secretary Zrike talked about the work underway statewide to ensure that every child in the Commonwealth can learn, grow, and thrive.

@bewitchedbook.bsky.social56 years ago today (10/8/70) Mayor Samuel Zoll of #SalemMA declared it #Bewitched Day in historic Salem with an official decree. This was due to the airing of S7s "The Salem Saga" on October 8, 1970, the first episode to feature episodes filmed in Salem, MA.
@dpangallo.bsky.socialGreat Witch spirit from the #SalemMA High School volleyball team at tonight’s “Dig Pink” match!

@dpangallo.bsky.socialThis week’s City Council agenda includes my request for accepting $12.2M in outside grants to help fund the upgrade of the Horace Mann Lab School here in #SalemMA.

@dpangallo.bsky.socialProgress in places, but lots of work still to do. That was the take-away from last night’s #SalemMA School Committee meeting, where we took a deep dive into the district’s latest MCAS scores and accountability data from the state.
@dpangallo.bsky.socialEach year the MA Association of Regional Planning Agencies brings together local and state officials for conversations focused on strengthening cities like #SalemMA. This year’s #MuniPartners Conference offered deep dives on housing, federal funding, AI, public health, & much more.
@dpangallo.bsky.socialDesign development for the new #SalemMA High School continues to advance as the Building Committee & working groups shape more detailed plans on all aspects of the new school.
