District Considers Juggling Elementary Programs

At tonight's school board meeting, district officials presented very preliminary school closure options.  The plan presented by Chief Operations Officer Sam Bell would call for closing the following school buildings:

Wainwright
Madison
Park Ave

and moving students and programs for several others.  Wainwright students would attend Delong and Geiger, while McKinley's current program would end and its students would move to Blix and Lyon.  Park Avenue students would then relocate to McKinley.

Urinal Explosion at Foss High School

In light of recent events, this kind of thing seems kind of quaint.  Or something.

According to the district's Facebook page, a couple of students took it upon themselves to stuff a few firecrackers in a urinal this morning, resulting in an explosion.  (Pictured)  I guess that's what the kids are into these days.  In my day (back before the down of the auto-mo-bile) they'd just call in bomb threats from the pay phone outside the office whenever there was a math test.

Although the building was briefly evacuated, no one was harmed in the incident.
