A look back at this past week's top headlines.
As usual, it was a busy week here in Concord. Here's a look back at this week's top stories. On Monday, we heard about the Legislative Breakfast, during which Minuteman Career and Technical High School and its plan for reconstruction was a topic of dissuasion for both state and local officials. As Minuteman works on a new regional agreement with their 16 member towns in order to move forward with their reconstruction plans, officials said changing the school to replicate modern work environments is essential to its success. They also said a reconstruction would be necessary to attract students to the school. The Concord Health Department issued an alert this week, notifying residents of a test batch of mosquitoes in Sudbury, near the …

Concord Conservatory hosts an open house.
