• Person Taken To Trauma Center Following Rollover Crash In Reading, Fire Officials Say (patch.com) — Emergency crews responded to a rollover crash inside a Gazebo Circle garage in Reading, freeing a trapped occupant and sending them to a trauma center. Firefighters then worked with the building commissioner to assess structural damage and coordinate with the management company to secure the building and remove the vehicle.
• School Committee introduces three new administrators (homenewshere.com) — Reading families are getting three new school leaders this year, including an interim Birch Meadow principal, a RISE program director, and a district human resources director, all outlining careful "listening-first" entry plans. They're emphasizing visibility, community feedback, and consistent HR support as Superintendent Henry Turner works through a broader leadership transition across the Reading school district.
• 🏛️ Select Board 9-22-26 AI Recap (readingrecap.com) — Reading's Select Board just advanced key initiatives that could affect your taxes, sidewalks, water system, and library hours, while renaming the Climate Advisory Committee as the Reading Environmental Sustainability Committee.
