📰 News we're reading

• 'No More Duct Tape': Mold Concerns Lead to Referendum Talk at Wayne BOE Meeting (tapinto.net) — Wayne school officials say persistent flooding and mold are plaguing aging school buildings and warn that only a new voter-approved referendum will fund real fixes instead of temporary "duct tape" repairs. After a failed 2024 proposal, they're weighing smaller, staggered referendums to address health, safety, and future expansion needs while stressing that residents' support will directly shape school conditions.
