1. Board establishes Surveillance Tech Advisory Committee (homenewshere.com) — Tewksbury's Select Board is moving ahead with a new surveillance technology advisory committee that would guide how the town uses tools like license-plate readers and other data systems. The proposed group would include representatives from major boards, town staff, and tech-savvy residents, and focus on transparency, civil liberties, and public safety as it develops recommendations for future Select Board decisions.
2. New superintendent '110 percent in' on Tewksbury (homenewshere.com) — Tewksbury's new superintendent, Nancy Milligan, is settling into her role with a listening tour, long-range planning, and a focus on data-driven decisions that support students and teachers. She's grappling with tight finances, potential future overrides, and aging schools like Dewing and Heath Brook, while exploring a combined school proposal and thoughtful use of classroom technology and AI.
3. Tewksbury secures state funding for local priorities (homenewshere.com) — Tewksbury is set to benefit from new state funding for local priorities, including restrooms at Livingston Street, paving at Pines Cemetery, accessibility upgrades at the Public Health Museum, and bleacher and athletic improvements at Doucette Stadium. Local and state leaders say these FY2027 investments will strengthen community spaces and support Tewksbury Public Schools' programs and facilities.
4. Teeing up two rivalry games: Duxbury vs. Hingham and Tewksbury vs. Billerica (bostonglobe.com) — Tewksbury High's football team heads into Friday's rivalry game at Billerica looking to rebound from its first home loss in two years and reassert itself in Merrimack Valley play.
