Incumbent Kelly Ross will also return to the board, earning 1,210 votes. The other incumbent, Jim Jarvie, received 1,025 votes. There were also 30 write-in votes cast.

Avery Adam, who challenged incumbent School Committee members David Keele and Birgit Kohl, just missed winning by a little more than 40 votes. Kohl received 1,346 votes and Keele received 1,100, with Adam getting 1,054.

In the Housing Authority race, Muriel Drake easily bested Bernard Meyler Jr. by a nearly two-to-one margin, 1,053 to 529.
