Brockton mayor agrees to step aside as chair of School Committee after budget scandal

"I just want to go on the record and say I support that," Sullivan interjected. "People think that Sullivan wants to be the chair. I didn't choose to be the chair. It's set by the regs here in the City of Brockton."

"I think it's actually a great idea," Sullivan continued. "Wearing two different hats, the same person, isn't ideal."

"We were advised repeatedly in interviews, including by the Mayor himself, that the Mayor was too busy running the City to be intricately involved in the School Committee," the report read. "This system does not work in Brockton."
