Here are the top three stories today in Reno:
- Fifteen Washoe County Schools will have a new principal this fall. Sparks High School, Academy of Arts, Careers, and Technology, Clayton AP Academy, and many more will have new heads come Aug. 15 when classes resume. Only one of the newly-hired principals comes from outside the school district. Additionally, the school district has a new superintendent named Susan Enfield, who moved from the Highline School District in Washington. (Subscription: Reno Gazette Journal)
- One man was arrested after a three-hour standoff at the Washoe County jail. It was a dog day for Washoe County Sheriffs, who were bringing the man in for booking around 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The man informed officers he had a gun while he was in the back of the patrol car, which drew a response from Washoe County SWAT and the hostage negotiation team. In the end, SWAT used non-lethal gas to force the man to surrender, and he was taken into custory around 11:00 p.m. (KOLO)
- A bank robber is in police custody after an overnight manhunt. The man robbed the U.S. Bank near the Meadowood Campus around 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday. According to police, no weapon had been seen with the man. As of 8:15 a.m. on Thursday, police informed the public that they had identified and arrested the man who robbed the bank. (KRNV)

Are you a Reno resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market?
Bloomberg recently asked experts where they'd invest $100,000 right now, and many of them had the same answer: fine art.
Thinking you can't afford a Picasso? Well in 2012, Congress passed the JOBS Act, which allowed for the securitization of artwork. A company called Masterworks.io built the largest platform for buying and selling art securities. In the past, you could only buy shares of companies like Apple, but with this investing app, you can unlock this powerful investment.
Meaning, you can invest in shares of million-dollar artwork. And in uncertain times, it turns out, fine art may be a wise investment. Here's why:
- Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
- Contemporary art historically returns 23.2% when inflation is >3%
- Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)
