Recent WPS data showed an increase in the number of incidents coded as staff assaults over the past 2 school years, but the "large majority" of those incidents occurred at elementary schools, and often by the same students. <0.5% of students (98) districtwide were involved

These are the ramblings of an insane person, like something you'd read in a serial killer's manifesto

Worcester council approves 2026 tax rates after debating options The City Council voted to set residential rates at $13.28/$1,000 of assessed value and commercial rates (CIP) at $29.06/$1,000, the lowest residential option provided (line 269 of 269) theworcesterguardian.org/f/worcester-...

Specific Worcester political question- does AWARE (Accurate Worcester Assessments on Real Estate) still exist? The last post I could find from them is back in June of 2021. They used to always endorse a "lowest residential" tax rate line. Haven't heard from them in a while.

This is so sick www.telegram.com/story/entert...

Sorry to "Live, Laugh, Love" post but I've been thinking recently about how lucky I am for the amazing support network I have, something so many people don't. It's always when you get sick that you realize most how you took being healthy for granted. Life can humble you quickly.

This, in addition to the roughly 30k-50k they spent for the 10 cent gas promotion, means UniBank has given over $150,000 back to the community in about a week's time

Sorry I’m libposting about Hegseth but I’m losing my mind

In a normal world Hegseth would not only be gone from the administration, but he’d be lawyering up for impending criminal charges. The war crimes guy being the “Secretary of War” is actually insane.

McGovern is the best. So glad he’s my Congressman.
