A controversial and time-sensitive New Bedford charter school bill inched along on Beacon Hill Wednesday as the House sent the legislation to the Education Committee for review.
A New Bedford man has been charged after he allegedly ordered his pit bull to attack a 13-year-old girl, resulting in the child being bitten four times.
The memorandum of understanding between the City of New Bedford and a charter school has been signed, clearing another hurdle in the school's proposed expansion.
