The East Somerville Community School played host to the city’s annual inaugural ceremonies Monday evening, during which Mayor Joseph Curtatone and members of the Board of Aldermen and School Committees were officially sworn-in to their terms by Maurice K. Flynn III, the presiding justice of the Somerville District Court. While the inauguration is nothing new, this year’s event saw Curtatone being sworn in to an unprecedented sixth term and five seats on the 11-member board being filled by new people.
