Somerville residents are invited to apply for four vacancies on the Somerville Commission for Persons with Disabilities. Three of the vacancies must be filled by people who identify as having a disability. 

The Somerville Commission for Persons with Disabilities is committed to ensuring equity and inclusion for Somerville residents, workers, and visitors. The Commission works closely with the City’s Department of Racial and Social Justice and ADA Coordinator to carry out its mission and ensure all are welcomed.

Interested in serving your community as a member of the Somerville Fire Department? Then join current members of the SFD, along with the City’s Human Resources and Racial and Social Justice Departments, to learn more and get on-site assistance with the application for the firefighter exam.

More information on both events can be found below.

Firefighter Exam Registration Event #1:

In June, the City initiated an additional building assessment of the Winter Hill Community Innovation School (WHCIS). Today, our consultant informed the City, who immediately informed Somerville Public Schools, of the unexpected presence of asbestos in material not typically found to contain asbestos. The City closed the building, which has not been currently holding classes, and it will remain closed to all until further notice as we work to investigate the findings and remediate the material. We will continue to keep our staff, families, and community updated.
