Set those clocks: Daylight saving time returns this weekend
Daylight saving time returns to most of the United States this weekend.
While you will lose an hour of sleep on Saturday night, you will be gaining an extra hour of sunlight in the afternoon for the next six months until Nov. 5.
Insurance Commissioner and State Fire Marshal Mike Chaney is reminding Mississippians to use the time change as an opportunity to test their smoke detectors and batteries.
“Use this time change as a reminder to test smoke alarms and replace batteries,” Chaney said. “Create an escape plan and make sure everyone knows where to meet outside of the home in case of a fire.”
According to the National Fire Protection Association, about three in five home fire deaths occur annually in properties with no smoke alarms.
The transition to daylight saving time will take place at 2 a.m. local time Sunday, so don't forget to set your clocks an hour ahead before going to bed Saturday night.

SUMMARY: Allegations of inappropriate disciplinary actions by an elementary teacher towards a student at Hatley Attendance School in Monroe County, Mississippi have surfaced. The superintendent, Dr. Chad O'Brian, released a statement emphasizing student safety and the district's commitment to providing a secure learning environment. Despite concerns, the sheriff's office has not been asked to investigate the incident. The school district's policy prohibits commenting on personnel matters. Several viewers contacted WCBI about the alleged incident, prompting the superintendent to address the situation to ensure a safe educational environment for all students.

SUMMARY: The Mississippi House and Senate conferees on Medicaid expansion have begun public negotiations on their differing plans to provide health insurance to working Mississippians. The House conferees, led by Chairwoman Missy McGee, proposed a compromise plan for a hybrid Medicaid expansion that would cover individuals between 0% and 99% of the federal poverty level on managed care organizations, while those between 100% and 138% would be on the federal insurance exchange, with the state covering premiums and co-pays. Roughly 200,000 individuals would be affected by this plan. The Senate did not offer a compromise plan but expressed willingness to review the House proposal and data.
