📰 News we're reading
• Fort Mill School Board Approves Dual Credit Pathways, Advances Non-Resident Employee Enrollment Policy, and Celebrates Student/Staff Achievements (tegacaysun.com) — Fort Mill families should know the school board just expanded dual credit options and advanced a policy that could let non-resident district employees enroll their children here for a fee starting in 2026–27. The meeting also spotlighted new student-support programs at Fort Mill Middle, celebrated state-champion athletes and staff leaders, and reviewed enrollment and major financial figures shaping future school planning. 
• Indian Land feels the pressure as traffic builds, but highway funding is elusive (heraldonline.com) — Fort Mill drivers are being told to expect a long wait for major road widening as soaring I-77 interchange costs soak up federal dollars and push local projects back. Regional planners and Fort Mill’s mayor say growth is outpacing infrastructure, with Indian Land and Lake Wylie also competing for scarce funding and voters rejecting new road taxes in Lancaster County.
• Woman Pleads Guilty to Selling Fraudulently 'Discounted' Ikon and Epic Ski Passes (theinertia.com) — A Fort Mill woman has pleaded guilty in federal court to helping run a multi-year scheme that used stolen bank card data to buy Ikon and Epic ski passes, then resell them at “discounted” prices. The case, based in Utah, highlights how online scams can involve people from far beyond ski country, including right here in Fort Mill.
