Here are the top three stories in Reno today:
- This Friday, the Washoe County Health District will begin administering the second round of COVID-19 booster shots for those who are moderately and severely immunocompromised, and adults over 50 years of age. Those eligible must have had their first booster at least four months before Apr. 1. The Washoe County Health District at 1001 E. 9th St. in Reno will be administering all vaccines between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. on weekdays. (FoxReno.com)
- Reno's newest elementary school will open in 2023 and is set to be named after JWood Raw. In a six-to-one vote on Tuesday, the Washoe County school board okayed the name of the district's newest school after the former teacher and principal. Raw was born in Reno and worked for the district for 37 years, including 23 years as principal of Dilworth Middle School. Read more about Raw's story at the link. (Subscription: Reno Gazette Journal)
- The City of Reno is debating how to spend $4 million in extra revenue in the upcoming fiscal year. As the city works to bounce back from the COVID-19 pandemic, the city council will take a vote on what has the most need. Staff presented the outline of the city budget this past Tuesday, looking specifically at certain city departments that requested additional funding. (KRNV)
