• 'My legend': Mandeville mother honors son after tragic river accident (wwltv.com) — Mandeville residents are mourning 18-year-old Jonis Warren, a recent Mandeville High School graduate who died after a tubing accident on the Bogue Chitto River. His family, classmates, and other local parents have created a memorial and fundraiser, sharing stories of his kindness, big personality, and dreams of becoming an aerospace engineer as they prepare for his June 18 homegoing service.

• Louisiana school superintendents warn about proposed education cut: ‘We can't do this' (nola.com) — Mandeville families should know that St. Tammany schools, including Gayle Sloan Middle in Mandeville, could lose millions under Gov. Jeff Landry’s plan to fund teacher stipends by cutting district budgets. Superintendents across Louisiana are warning lawmakers that the proposal may mean larger classes, fewer programs, and possible staff cuts, and they’re urging legislators to reject or abstain on the plan before a June 23 vote.
