  • California classrooms closed for fall as virus cases surge

    Jul 21, 2020

    SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Most of California's 6.7 million schoolkids will be learning from home when the new school year begins in a few weeks as the state struggles with soaring rates of coronavirus cases, hospitalizations and deaths. Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday issued strict guidelines for 32 counties that are on a state watch list because of COVID-19 outbreaks. They effectively require distance learning in public and private K-12 schools until those counties see 14 days of declines in virus...

  • Lawsuit against Detroit school district over in-person summer school faces setback in court

    Jul 21, 2020

    Plaintiffs in the lawsuit seeking to stop the Detroit school district’s in-person summer school classes have agreed to refile their case in Wayne County circuit court. That was the result of a Friday court hearing before the Michigan Court of Claims, where the presiding judge told the lawyer for the activist group By Any Means Necessary that she had no jurisdiction over the district or Superintendent Nikolai Vitti, both of whom are defendants. “Even if I agreed with everything you said, I have no power to do anything,” Judge Cynthia Diane...

  • High school sports face many obstacles as school year nears

    Jul 21, 2020

    The same pandemic-related questions that have bedeviled professional and college sports are front and center for high school administrators across the country -- and they are far more complicated. Setting up expensive, tightly regimented bubbles for professional athletes or setting protocols for thousands of college athletes who answer to a handful of coaches is not happening at the high school level. Instead, more than 13,000 districts, some of them resource-rich, many of them not, are trying to figure how to safely stage sports for some 8...

  • Facing Uncertain Fall, Schools Make Flexible Reopening Plans

    Jul 21, 2020

    MANCHESTER, Mo. (AP) — Administrators in the Parkway school district in suburban St. Louis spent the summer break crafting a flexible reopening plan, with options that include full-time classroom learning, full-time online instruction and a hybrid system. It's a good thing because the dangers of the coronavirus are so uncertain that district officials are reluctant to make predictions about the fall semester, which begins in only five weeks. Confirmed coronavirus infections in Missouri's hardest-hit city waned in June, but they are now s...

  • Chicago plan would have kids in classrooms 2 days per week

    Jul 21, 2020

    CHICAGO (AP) - Most Chicago children would return to the classroom two days a week and spend the other three days learning remotely once the school year begins under a tentative plan city officials presented Friday despite opposition to any in-person instruction by the teachers union because of the coronavirus threat. During a news conference, Chicago Public Schools officials were careful to call the proposed hybrid approach a preliminary framework and they asked parents, students and staff to...

  • SC County's Public Schools Missing Almost 4,000 Laptops

    Jul 21, 2020

    GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) — Nearly 4,000 laptops issued last school year to students in Greenville County are missing. The machines — Chromebooks that individually cost about $300 — are worth a combined $1.19 million, and the district will soon have to turn the matter over to police, Greenville County Schools spokesman Tim Waller told The Post and Courier. “We will report whatever information is necessary to recover our devices,” Waller said. “That may include the names of parents/guardians.” https://www.usnews.com/news/best-sta...

  • Can kids spread the coronavirus? 'Conclusively, without a doubt – yes,' experts say

    Jul 21, 2020

    As school districts around the country reveal reopening guidelines for when students return to classrooms in the fall, many parents are concerned about how the coronavirus could affect their children. The White House has provided confusing statements. Press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Thursday "science should not stand in the way" of schools reopening, though "science is on our side." A compilation of studies and articles published in JAMA Pediatrics found most patients under the age of 18 with COVID-19, the illness caused by SARS-CoV-2,...

  • Tension Rises in States Over Who Decides When to Reopen Schools

    Jul 21, 2020

    As schools make plans to address the coronavirus pandemic, administrators in some states are caught up in tensions about who gets the final say about when they can reopen their buildings to students, and what precautions they should take to protect their communities. Among the questions that drive those tensions: Is reopening schools a question of education or public health? How much discretion should local districts have? Those questions played out very differently in Kansas and South Carolina...

  • Restructuring Farmers Eligible for Relief from Loan Fees

    Jul 21, 2020

    St. Paul, MN: Eligible farmers restructuring their debt can get half of the loan guarantee fees on USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) restructuring loans covered through a new Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) program, paid for through federal COVID-19 funding. The Minnesota Legislature appropriated $175,000 in COVID-19 relief this spring toward a grant program that covers 50 percent of loan guarantee fees for FSA loans to restructure farmers’ debt. Loan fees are 1.5 percent of the loan value and average $3,000-$5,000 in total. “This pro...

  • Wisconsin's tribes have weathered COVID-19 better than tribes in other states. How did they do it?

    Jul 21, 2020

    Wisconsin's Native American tribes have taken aggressive steps to combat the coronavirus pandemic since January and recent data show they have fared better than other harder hit tribes across the country. Indian Health Service reported 450 Native Americans tested positive for COVID-19 as of Wednesday across the Bemidji Area, which includes 11 federally recognized Wisconsin tribes along with reservations in Michigan and Minnesota. That means as the state passes 40,000 positive COVID-19 cases,...

  • Climate Change Has Forced Indigenous Peoples in This Alaskan City to Pay $99 for a Turkey

    Jul 21, 2020

    In the Alaskan city of Kotzebue, the lack of sea ice stands to threaten the Iñupiat people’s ability to attain food sovereignty and adhere to their traditional ways of eating. The Iñupiat make up about 70 percent of the city’s 3,500 residents, and—out of both economic necessity and culture—many Iñupiat have a subsistence diet where they hunt seal, geese, ptarmigan, moose, and caribou from the seas to the tundra to the mountains. Lance Kramer is Iñupiat, and a former elementary school teacher who is now a pastor, working with youth and suicide...

Twenty-one-year-old Palani Bull Bear was originally charged with second-degree murder in the death of 19-year-old Brycee Red Owl during a confrontation in Kyle.

Court documents say that during the conflict, Bull Bear fired two shots, killing Red Owl a...

  • Local sports during a global pandemic

    Jul 21, 2020

    Colleges and high schools across the country have already cancelled upcoming sports activities because of the coronavirus pandemic. That puts thousands of young Native athletes on the bench and cuts out a key Friday night social event for even more Native sports fans. We'll talk about what athletic programs are doing to state of Native sports while gyms and schools are closed because of the coronavirus.

  • Mask requirement effective after midnight in Bemidji

    Jul 21, 2020

    Mayor of Bemidji Rita Albrecht made an amendment to the local emergency proclamation, ordering that masks be worn in indoor public spaces effective 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, July 21, 2020. The council would have needed all five member support to pass an emergency ordinance on a mask requirement, but Ward 5’s Nancy Erickson expressed that she did not support a mandate, and Ward 3’s Ron Johnson indicated he was not aware a vote would take place during Monday’s meeting. Ward 1’s Michael Meehlhause offered the motion to support the mayor’s amendment...
