What this means for local schools
SUMMARY: House Bill 1341 in Mississippi would allow active-duty military personnel to send their children to any school in the state as long as they can accommodate them. This would be beneficial for families stationed at Columbus Air Force Base in Lowndes County. The bill aims to make the transition easier for military families and provide them with more school choices. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, and it has received support from local school officials and educators who believe it will benefit military families. The new law could have both positive and negative impacts on school districts and private schools in the area.

The heroes behind the scenes
SUMMARY: National Telecommunicators Week, celebrated from April 15 to April 19, honors the 911 dispatchers who serve as the first point of contact in emergency situations, providing critical information to first responders. Dispatchers like Latonya Malone from Lowndes County have the challenging task of guiding callers through tragedies in real-time. They handle emotional tolls and must often move on to the next call without closure. Despite this, Malone was able to find closure for a six-year-old girl who needed help when her mother had a stroke. Dispatchers like Malone remind people that help is just a phone call away.
