• Head of Newton Housing Authority resigns per deferred prosecution agreement (figcitynews.com) — Newton's Housing Authority executive director Michael Lara has resigned under a federal deferred prosecution agreement tied to alleged misuse of Watertown Housing Authority funds, and an acting director has been appointed. Local commissioners say Lara has been removed from all Newton Housing Authority accounts and systems, a new audit is underway, and the agency plans a search for a permanent leader while maintaining services for residents.
• Pre-season warm-up: School Committee meets week before schools open (figcitynews.com) — Newton families get an inside look at last week's School Committee meeting, where members accepted major federal and state grants, fast-tracked approval for the new Peak School in Newton Centre, and outlined upcoming contract talks with the Newton Teachers Association.
