Westborough Public Schools in Massachusetts is set to receive $60,000 in state funding to purchase cell phone lock boxes for classrooms, a move aimed at fostering phone-free environments. This funding was announced by Senator Michael Moore (D-2nd Worcester) and is part of a legislative earmark included in the FY27 state budget. The financial support comes from the Fair Share Amendment, which imposes an additional tax on annual income exceeding $1 million, allowing local communities to access targeted funding for educational initiatives. This announcement follows another recent allocation of $115,000 for a traffic study and roadway signage improvements along Route 9. Additionally, the Westborough Public Library has been awarded $12,500 for its ongoing renovation project, which is set to reopen in fall 2026. The library is currently operating from a temporary location during the renovations, which include significant upgrades to its infrastructure.
