- Anne-Marie Siroonian22% (2 of 9)
- Melissa Ferretti0% (0 of 9)
How these numbers work
- Counted from the official minutes, for 2025–2026 Board only. Committee meetings and routine votes (adjourning, approving minutes) are not counted.
- Attendance counts the meetings where the minutes list Mastrangelo as present or absent at the start.
- Only votes the minutes record member by member are counted. Voice votes and votes given only as a count (for example 6-3 with no names) are not.
- Percentages are shown only when there are at least 10 meetings or votes to count.
- A split vote is one where at least one member voted yes and another voted no. “In the minority” means on the side with fewer votes; ties are not counted.
- “Whole board” combines every member’s record for the same term.
These numbers describe the record; they are not a grade. A no vote, an abstention or a minority vote is neither good nor bad. MassVoter never rates officials.

April 14, 2026: Recommend sending the letter with the recommended edits, authorizing the Chair sign the letter on behalf of the Select Board, and c.c.-ing the Select Board as MJ Mastrangelo requested
To recommend sending the letter with the recommended edits, authorizing the Chair sign the letter on behalf of the Select Board, and c.c.-ing the Select Board as MJ Mastrangelo requested. Ms. Mastrangelo asked if they could put something in the letter about having Upper Cape Tech representatives meet with the Select Board to communicate after they have gathered the information. She said they offered a meeting with the Bourne Public Schools, and she thinks if they offer a meeting with Upper Cape Tech, it is a way to start to work with them. Chair Ferretti said that this is not an attack on anyone, as it is their fiduciary responsibility to the town and the taxpayers. She does not think that having a meeting needs to be in this letter. She said that they of course would want to collaborate and have meetings later. Mr. Meier said he thinks if they send the letter in this format, they are cutting off the chance to work collaboratively. He thinks there should be an email to the Superintendent. He said they afforded the courtesy to the Bourne Public Schools, and he feels that same courtesy and respect should be given to Upper Cape Tech. Ms. Siroonian said that she thinks this as a different situation. She said the conversation with the Bourne Public Schools was a budget issue. She said they shouldn't send an email and deliberate through it. She added that the letter simply asks for information, and then there can be collaboration based on the data to make better informed decisions.
