    Dec 15, 2016

    Among the findings from the most recent federal Civil Rights Data Collection that got the most attention: 1.6 million students attend public schools that have an on-site law enforcement officer but no school counselor.

    Dec 15, 2016

Lawyers for Jeronimo Yanez filed a motion to dismiss the manslaughter charge filed against him in November.
