The Worcester City Council has asked the city manager to try to get the Atlantic Coast Conference to use Polar Park in Worcester for the conference's baseball championship.
The city council's order, which was on the agenda for the council meeting Tuesday, September 12, directs the city manager to coordinate with the Worcester Red Sox, which leases the park and uses it during the baseball season; the Worcester Chamber of Commerce; and Boston College, which is the only Atlantic Coast Conference team in Massachusetts.
When it comes to vaccines, Massachusetts saw more kindergartners' families than ever get a religious exemption last year.
During the 2022-2023 school year, 813 of the 66,041 kindergartners in the Bay State had religious exemptions against being vaccinated; the 1.23 percent religious exemption rate was the highest on record dating back to the 1987-1988 school year, according to data from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
