Just email it.

"BRAKING NEWS: Worcester County Public Schools to begin..."

And this, my friends, is why we need in-person learning, or at least lessons in spelling.

tk for PPE says: Good point and good catch. Spelling error now corrected but don't blame the Board Of Ed. The error occurred in the process of copying the line from their website and the word was partially erased and I retyped it. But I'll own up to deserving a grade of "F" for the oversight.

Has the Council changed the City Charter? The Charter states, "The newly elected Mayor shall take office on the Second Tuesday of April following his election."

Unless the Council changes the Charter Susan or Jackie or Mike will have to wait a long time to legally take office.
