Questioning the location of Framingham's new elementary school | Letter

As usual, the School Committee is befuddling in its planning of new school construction . Why is a replacement of Hemenway being built in Ashland? Isn't that a bit far flung? Wasn't the Wilson School replacement built to accommodate that part of Town with loss of Memorial, etc.? The larger question involves why the School Dept, Council recognize growth at the lower grade level, but not the need for accommodating it at the high school level. Shouldn't the new building be a high school? Maybe the Marian building would be ideal. Sorry to interrupt your reverie.

Opinion/Guest column: High school annexes right course for MA voke ed

Massachusetts has an affordability crisis, and many of its causes – like tariffs, interest rates and foreign wars – are out of our hands at the state and local level. What we can control is whether we have the skilled workers to build what we need to bring down the cost of living. We need more housing, and that takes carpenters, plumbers and electricians. We need cheaper, more reliable energy, and that takes the electricians and HVAC technicians to build and maintain it. We need nurses and health aides to staff our hospitals and nursing homes. These are local, blue-collar answers to our nationwide problem, and the young people who could fill those jobs are sitting in Massachusetts’ high schools. Unfortunately, too many of these young people can’t get the necessary training. For years, vocational technical schools across the commonwealth have turned away qualified applicants because there aren’t enough seats. Some years, waitlists have swelled to more than 10,000 students for the state’s vocational high schools. Families know the story all too well: A student who wants to learn a trade applies, lands on a waitlist and spends four years in a school that can’t offer what they wanted. Last

Aedan Borges wills Case football to upset over champ Fairhaven in MIAA playoffs

FAIRHAVEN — After losing a thriller at Alumni Field last month, first-year head coach Mike Cloutier and the No. 11 Joseph Case football team wanted another shot against defending Division 6 Super Bowl champion Fairhaven. What transpired in Thursday's Division 6 Round of 16 playoff game was nearly a replica of the first contest as both teams went blow for blow. This time it was the Cardinals who managed to pull out an upset win over the Blue Devils. Aedan Borges scored six touchdowns, including the eventual game-winner on a fumble recovery for a score midway through the fourth quarter to lift Case to an incredible 42-37 victory over No. 6 Fairhaven. Watch MA high school football on NFHS With the win, the Cardinals (7-2) move on the Elite 8 for the first time in school history and snapped the Blue Devils' 15-game unbeaten win streak that dated back to last season. Case won its first playoff game since 1992, snapping a 34-year drought. "I could not be more proud of this team, Borges and the fight from everybody," Cloutier said.
