• Residents rally against Amazon as it seeks to bring drone delivery to Central Massachusetts (communityadvocate.com) — Amazon's proposed drone delivery program would cover all of Northborough, putting local homes within range of hundreds of daily flights from its Westborough facility. Residents from nearby towns are already raising concerns about noise, privacy, safety, and lack of control, while officials weigh FAA, state, and local approvals that could determine how often drones fly over this area.
   

• A Harvard-trained lawyer, Fox News, and a fight over trans identity: How one Mass. school drew the federal government's wrath (bostonglobe.com) — Northborough families will want to know that Algonquin Regional High School and the Public Schools of Northborough and Southborough are under a federal civil-rights investigation over how they handled a student's gender identity and parental involvement.
