 Boston City Council At-Large Candidate Jon Spillane Calls on School Committee Chairwoman Oliver-Dávila to Resign 

“Boston deserves public officials who strive to meet the highest standards”

Boston, MA -- Today, Jon Spillane, candidate for Boston City Councilor At-Large, released a statement following news reports regarding texts exchanged by Boston School Committee Chairwoman Alexandra Oliver-Dávila: 

“Chairwoman Alexandra Oliver-Dávila should resign from the Boston School Committee immediately. Like her two former colleagues who recently resigned, she made unacceptable comments that denigrate Boston residents and tear at the fabric of our City. 

Boston deserves public officials who strive to meet the highest standards. As we navigate the future, competency, accountability, and transparency must be the priorities for positions of public trust. What has happened at the School Committee has been unacceptable, and Bostonians deserve a better sort of leadership.”
