Richard E. Carmelich III, the new business manager for Plainville Community Schools, will be officially welcomed by the board of education tonight, Jan. 10, at the school board meeting, 6:30 p.m., at the Middle School of Plainville.

When Alan Schutz, longtime business manager for Plainville Community Schools, started working locally in the 1980s, he remembered earlier versions of computers and software that replaced old-fashioned adding machines, calculators and pencils.
