📰 News we're reading
• Hearing set for "before Labor Day school start" in Berrien County (wsbt.com) — New Buffalo families may see continued flexibility on starting school after Labor Day as Berrien County seeks renewal of its waiver to allow pre-Labor Day starts. While most county districts already begin earlier, New Buffalo Area Schools still start after the holiday to support the town’s tourism-driven summer jobs, and local leaders say parents and students strongly favor that schedule.
