WORCESTER, MA — Following Worcester's 2022 inauguration ceremony on Monday, the city's newly elected City Council and School Committee members have been assigned seats on committees governing everything from diversity to the environment. The committees, which are subgroups under the main City Council and School Committee, get to dive into issues before important votes. For example, the City Council's Public Safety Committee might get into a deeper discussion about police body cameras before the issue goes before the City Council. Here are the committee assignments handed out this week: City CouncilEconomic Development District 1 Councilor Sean Rose, chairAt-Large Councilor Khrystian KingDistrict 4 Councilor Sarai RiveraEducation At-Large Councilor Thu Nguyen, chairAt-Large Councilor Donna ColorioAt-Large Councilor Kathleen ToomeyMunicipal, Legislative Operations Khrystian King, chairDistrict 3 Councilor George RussellSean RosePublic Health, Human Services Sarai Rivera, chairAt-Large Councilor Morris BergmanDistrict 5 Councilor Etel HaxhiajPublic Safety Kathleen Toomey, chairSarai RiveraDonna ColorioPublic Service, Transportation Morris Bergman, chairThu NguyenDistrict 2 Councilor Candy Mero-CarlsonPublic Works George Russell, chairCandy Mero-CarlsonMorris BergmanTraffic, Parking Donna ColorioEtel HaxhiajThu NguyenUrban Technologies, Innovation, Environment Etel Haxhiaj, chairKathleen ToomeyGeorge RussellVeterans Memorial, Parks, Recreation Candy Mero-CarlsonSean RoseKhrystian KingSchool CommitteeFinance, Operations Tracy Novick, chairJermoh Kamara, vice chairSue MailmanGovernance, Employee Issues Laura Clancey, chairMolly McCullough, vice chairJermaine JohnsonSchool, Student Performance Jermaine Johnson, chairLaura Clancey, vice chairTracy NovickTeaching, Learning, Student Supports Molly McCullough, chairSue Mailman, vice chairJermoh Kamara
