📰 News we're reading

• These are Alabama's largest elementary schools (al.com) — Elkmont Elementary School just saw a huge jump in enrollment, growing about 68% in one year after students were reassigned from the closed Piney Chapel Elementary. That surge reflects Limestone County's rapid growth and district rezoning, even as overall Alabama public school enrollment dipped slightly and some other districts lost hundreds of students.
