The South Central School Board Wednesday night agreed to add a Social Suspension program to the high school student handbook for the coming school year. Incoming High School Principal Michael Koenke says he used the program effectively at Mt. Vernon High School to improve attendance and decrease tardiness. “Once they reach three days of unexcused absences, those are considered truant, so they would go on a social suspension list for ten days,” Koenke said.

The Sandoval Village Board plans to crack down on juveniles who are making people afraid to be at the village park. The group is reportedly firing Orbies with frozen pellets sometimes containing bleach around those at the ballgames. The frozen pellets are much more painful, and the bleach has caused stains on clothing and vehicles. Sandoval Police Chief Joe Lyons says as police locate the guns they are being seized and those involved placed on a dusk curfew.
