📰 News we're reading

• Cuts and changes coming for Tri-State school district to help address over $2M deficit (local12.com) — New Richmond school leaders have approved a state-required fiscal plan that cuts staff, raises sports pay-to-play fees to $300, and restructures services to close a projected $2.3 million deficit. The plan keeps the district afloat through 2028 but isn’t sustainable, and officials warn that without new tax support, future steps could include closing a school, shifting grades, and reducing transportation and mental health services.
   

• University Launches Moot Court Team (wittenberg.edu) — A New Richmond native, Wittenberg student Andon Peacock, helped launch the university’s new moot court team and competed in a regional tournament this fall. The small two-person squad faced larger universities, earned a win over Wooster, and is part of Wittenberg’s broader push to grow hands-on legal training alongside its revived mock trial program.
