📰 News we're reading

• Menstrual cycle disclosure? Lakeview High School syllabus sparks backlash over policy (scrippsnews.com) — Parents in St. Clair Shores are pushing back against a Lakeview High School gym syllabus that asks girls to disclose the length of their menstrual cycles to make up missed swim days. A concerned father and an attorney say the requirement may violate privacy and anti-discrimination laws, while the superintendent promises to meet with families as the issue heads to a school board meeting.
   

• John James says he delivers results. What does his record show? (theoaklandpress.com subscription) — Macomb County residents, including those in St. Clair Shores, may want to know how GOP gubernatorial nominee John James points to federal funding for local sewer and stormwater upgrades as proof he "delivers results." This detailed look at his congressional record weighs those local wins against his close alignment with Donald Trump, voting history on healthcare, tariffs, Iran, and his visibility back home.
   

• Two Eastpointe police officers misused Flock network, chief says (macombdaily.com) — Eastpointe just became the first Macomb County city to cancel its contract with Flock license plate cameras after two officers allegedly misused the system, including one case already drawing "severe discipline." With St. Clair Shores now weighing whether to keep or modify its own Flock program, this decision and the new safeguards in Eastpointe could heavily influence how local leaders handle surveillance and privacy concerns here.
