Here's Five Things

Good morning, here are five things to know today:

Medford schools are going to continue their stand against paying bus fees for students attending Minuteman Regional High School in Lexington, according to Superintendent Roy Belson. Belson addressed the subject before the city council Tuesday, as they considered the school department budget. There have been discussions with state and school officials, but nothing has changed since the matter was last touched upon publicly, he said. "I can’t give anyone any assurances of anything except there are discussions going on," Belson said.

Weather: Highs are expected in the low 90s today with a 30 percent chance of thunderstorms, according to the National Weather Service. Sunny skies and highs around 90 are expected through the weekend.
