📰 News we're reading

1. Weymouth, MA School Committee — September 28, 2026 (meetingwatch.org) — Weymouth residents can now review what the School Committee did at its September 28, 2026 meeting, including a conditional site-plan approval tied to updated landscaping. The MeetingWatch tool lets you jump straight to key votes, minutes, and documents, making it easier to track how decisions may affect local schools and neighborhoods.
   

2. Safe Outpatient Delivery of Bispecific Antibodies (ons.org) — Cancer patients in Weymouth now have closer access to advanced bispecific antibody treatments through Dana-Farber's BOSS outpatient program at its South Shore site. The program lets eligible patients receive step-up dosing while staying at home, with intensive remote monitoring for serious side effects. Staff use standardized assessments, clear emergency pathways, and coordinated care plans to keep hospitalizations low and treatment starts faster.
   

3. Man accused of striking Bridgewater State students found incompetent for trial – [your]NEWS (yournews.com) — A Weymouth man has been found incompetent to stand trial after prosecutors said he intentionally drove into two Bridgewater State University students during Homecoming Weekend. He'll be held without bail during a mental health evaluation. Authorities say surveillance video shows his vehicle speeding before jumping a curb, and they're also investigating an earlier alleged road-rage incident involving a knife in East Bridgewater.
   

4. Quincy paramedics could soon perform blood transfusions (patriotledger.com) — A proposed Quincy Whole Blood Response Program could eventually send a specially equipped SUV to help paramedics in nearby towns, including Weymouth, during severe blood-loss emergencies. If approved and funded through Boston Medical Center, this would allow trained crews to start life-saving whole-blood transfusions before patients even reach the hospital, potentially improving survival on the South Shore.
