Schools
Their regular season ended Wednesday with a win before a home crowd, but the Vineyard soccer boys are hoping to keep the wins coming as they enter the postseason. Games begin next week.
In a time of flux for Vineyard public schools, a race is underway to determine the makeup of the Up-Island Regional School Committee. Six candidates are competing for five spots on the committee, half of whom are first-timers. The majority are running as write-in candidates.
It was a busy week of travel and league competition for the Vineyarders, as everyone except the girls’ soccer team suited up to play this past week.
Jason Lages's trademark run has served him well so far this year. He has a team-leading 29 goals and 12 assists, and has broken Lucas Brewer’s 2005 school record for goals in a season.
The 2-0 win over Dennis-Yarmouth came despite the fact that the team’s leading scorer was on the sidelines. Junior Jason Lages drew a red card in a game Monday against Bishop Stang. Lages will sit out round one of the playoffs next week.
If the draft budget is approved, taxpayers in West Tisbury, Aquinnah and Chilmark will pay $841,000 more for school costs. Assessments would increase the most in West Tisbury. The issue of whether to hire a school resource officer for up-Island schools remains undecided.
