Acting Director of Swampscott Senior Center Gina Bush is leaving the town’s employ on Wednesday, May 12, she told The Swampscott Reporter on Saturday afternoon.
Bush said she sent her resignation to Swampscott Town Administrator Sean Fitzgerald on April 28, adding her name to what some have characterized as an unusual succession of employee departures over the past couple months.
But for the town agency in particular, the news represents a blow to the backbone of institutionalized, trusted support for one of Swampscott s largest and most vulnerable populations since the senior center’s activities director, Anne Quagrello, tendered her resignation last month.
