📰 News we're reading

• Shawsheen Tech presents revised budget (homenewshere.com) — Shawsheen Tech officials say they've trimmed about $435,000 from their proposed fiscal 2027 budget and are working more closely with member towns, including Burlington, after concerns about transparency and rising assessments. Burlington taxpayers and families should watch how ongoing talks shape future costs, as Tewksbury's assessment has been rising faster than its levy limit and similar pressures could affect all member communities.
   

• Globe Top 20 girls' volleyball poll: For the first time, a new No. 1 (bostonglobe.com) — Burlington's girls' volleyball team has broken through into the Boston Globe's Top 20 after a hard-fought five-set win over Woburn on Monday.
