Stone, Cloutier win North school committee seats

NORTH ATTLEBORO - The fact that there was only one contested race in North Attleboro may be the reason only 3.03% of the town’s 23,909 registered voters participated in Tuesday’s annual town election.

Four candidates ran for the two three-year seats on the town’s school committee.

Incumbent Sarah Stone led the field with 517 votes.

Katherine Cloutier, who ran with Stone as a team, was also elected with 472 votes.

Francisco Palmarin was a distant third with 192 votes.

John McAdam, who did not campaign, finished fourth with 109 votes.

Stone was re-elected as vice chair of the committee during the board's Wednesday meeting. Tasha Buzzell was re-elected as chair.
