📰 News we're reading

• Select Board seeks a long-term land use strategy (carlislemosquito.org) — Carlisle’s Select Board is launching an effort to create a long-term strategy for managing town-owned land, tying together the Master Plan and Open Space and Recreation Plan. Officials want clearer priorities for conservation, agriculture, and recreation across parcels like Fox Hill, Foss Farm, and Banta-Davis. Expect future public discussions as they review parcel management plans and set investment priorities.
   

• Celebrating Carlisle's Swap Shed and favorite finds from it (carlislemosquito.org) — Carlisle’s beloved Swap Shed at the Transfer Station has been cutting trash costs and delighting residents with free “treasures” for nearly 35 years. Locals share stories of beds, golf clubs, toys, and even Limoges plates that found second lives here, while volunteers quietly divert leftover items to an Acton nonprofit. The shed has become a cornerstone of Carlisle culture, community connection, and everyday reuse.
   

• Former Sudbury schools chief collected $153K in total severance (milforddailynews.com) — Sudbury’s former superintendent Brad Crozier received $153,000 in severance after resigning this spring, under agreements that include mutual non-disparagement and no admission of wrongdoing. On July 1 he began work as interim superintendent of Carlisle Public Schools, while Sudbury appointed its own interim leader. The payout followed months of controversy and a symbolic no-confidence vote in the Sudbury School Committee.
