Batista also has the details for the North High School State Champion Basketball team rolling rally. It begins at 1 p.m. Sunday from North High and ends at Polar Park.

Worcester School Committee member Molly McCullough tells us there needs to be a conversation about homework in the public schools. She says the issue isn’t “no homework,” it’s about how homework is assigned and how much work students are doing on any given day. The item, which is being looked at in the subcommittee, was spurred on by the Citywide Parent Advisory Council. McCullough told Talk of the Commonwealth she wants to make sure the school committee moves on this, and pointed to a years-long discussion just to update the dress code.
