Leicester voters approve $50 million school renovation project

LEICESTER – Voters in Leicester approved a ballot measure that will raise $13 million to expand vocational programming at Leicester High School. Voters approved the measure, which appeared on the Nov. 3 ballot as Question 10, by a margin of 2,947 votes in favor to 1,793 opposed, according to preliminary results published by the Leicester Town Clerk's office. The measure approves $13 million from the Leicester tax base to contribute to an overall $49.8 million project to expand vocational options for students and renovate several buildings on Leicester High's campus. The remaining money will come from state funds, already approved by the Massachusetts School Building Authority, and grants the district has already received. "I want to express my deepest gratitude to the residents of Leicester for supporting the LHS building/renovation project and the expansion of Career Technical Education," Leicester Superintendent Brett Kustigian stated in a letter to the community. "The approval of this project, combined with the significant investment, is historic and it will benefit our entire community for years to come. Thank you for your trust, vision and commitment to our students." The project involves renovating several buildings the district acquired in 2022 following the closure of Becker College.

HC Accounting Department Confirmed Fake

WORCESTER, MA— Confirming a suspicion already held by a majority of students, President Vincent Rougeau announced on Friday that the entire accounting department at College of the Holy Cross is indeed fake. “It’s true–the major exists entirely to drive students towards programs like English and Political Science, disciplines that actually have professors and courses here,” said Rougeau, adding that he was impressed the college administration had managed to keep up the ruse for several decades since the major’s “introduction” in 1987. “We’ve been extremely successful in this endeavor,” reported Rougeau, “96.4% of students who initially declare an accounting major switch to something in the humanities within six months. We’re still working hard to get that figure up to 100%.” Rougeau then went on to explain how if students attempt to enroll in upper-level accounting courses like ACCT 275 – Corporate Finance or ACCT 382 – Auditing, they will simply receive an error notice of Iggy the Crusader wearing a construction hat saying “Whoops! The course you are trying to take is completely fictional!” on STAR. “These courses only exist in the digital realm to give the impression of a department,” continued Rougeau. “Of course, we do have to offer intro-level courses for those naive freshmen set on being accountants, but we try our best to make those classes as mundane and mind-numbing as humanly possible so that any reasonable person would switch into something more interesting like psychology or philosophy, lest they go insane.” At the end of the press conference, Rougeau assured the audience that the College was doing everything in its power to track down and detain Bill McKay ’98, the only student to ever successfully graduate with an accounting degree.

The Problem of Excessive Technology at South High

The issue of technology usage in schools has been something that has been around since students and faculty returned from the covid-19 pandemic. During the Covid-19 pandemic, schools were closed and classes were held virtually. Many students had to teach themselves how to complete these assignments digitally at an early age. It was a huge transition for students from being in classrooms to everything being digital. Many years after the pandemic it’s been hard for students to go back to life before covid – and over the years, students have gotten addicted to their phones.
