SUMMARY: The mayor and Board of Aldermen of DeKalb held a meeting to decide on sending a contract termination to the Board of Supervisors. The mayor wanted to address concerns regarding their agreement with the Kemper County Sheriff's Department, as the city has lacked a police department for several years. The discussion about a Town Marshal was tabled until the next Board of Supervisors meeting in July, where the mayor, Sheriff Moore, and a supervisor will discuss future plans. Mayor Adams emphasized the need for part-time law enforcement to manage town safety and traffic violations despite limited financial resources. A final decision will be made in July.

The responsibilities of the Town Marshal are to work part-time while attending all meetings and patrolling the city.

SUMMARY: In about a month, the United Way of East Mississippi will host its annual Stuff the Bus campaign on July 11th in Lauderdale County. The event aims to provide local school children with necessary supplies for the upcoming school year. Last year, over 1,500 students were not registered for school two weeks after it started due to a lack of supplies. This year's goal is to reduce that number significantly and make it the best event yet. The campaign will take place at Walmart locations at Bonita and off Highway 19, as well as Raising Cane's on North Hill Street. Visit wt.com for more information.

The campaign will help local schoolchildren receive the school supplies they need to be successful next school year.
