JPS decides to tear down 3 abandoned schools in the district
SUMMARY: The Jackson Public Schools Board of Trustees approved the demolition of three elementary schools in Jackson due to lack of interest from potential buyers. Dr. Eric Greene cited the poor condition and location of the buildings as reasons for the lack of interest in repurposing them. Residents expressed mixed reactions to the decision, with some disappointed and others believing it was necessary. The school district is considering turning the vacant spaces into green spaces or parks after demolition.

SUMMARY: Longtime Pedal Fire Chief Joe Henry is retiring after 14 years. He reflects on his time in the department and how it has changed.
