No Trespass

A New Bedford School Committee member is calling for the public to demand Mayor Jon Mitchell's resignation.

Mayor Jon Mitchell said he had no problem with the New Bedford School Committee voting to continue the No Trespass order against member John Oliveira, because the mayor said he hasn't seen any improvement in Oliveira's behavior.

New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell says he invited School Committee member-elect John Oliveira to Monday night's meeting, despite him being under a No Trespass order issued by the superintendent.

Noticeably present at Monday night's School Committee meeting was member-elect John Oliveira.

New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell made his weekly visit to WBSM on Wednesday, speaking publicly for the first time on Dr. Pia Durkin's decision to resign as Superintendent of New Bedford Schools.
