Here are the top five stories today in Beaverton:
- A Beaverton company played a role in today's Super Bowl, for better or worse. Click over to the Willamette Week article describing Cooper Kupp's training regimen, handcrafted by Headquarters Wellness Solutions (out of Beaverton) and EForce Sports (Lake Oswego), and executed in a Wilsonville barn.
- A review of the Beaverton School District's program to have police in schools is underway. City Council is set to meet with the contracted consultant in the upcoming week to review the company's plan to collect data pertaining to school resource officers. The review is in response to student reports of feeling uncomfortable in the presence of such officers.
