EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ Frozen federal education grants holding back about 25.4M in funds have put 109 after‑school programs serving nearly 7,000 students and teacher training in limbo as schools scramble to cover costs before the new school year starts. Education officials warned that districts must use other funds at their own risk, a move that may lead to higher fees or fewer program hours if the money is not released soon. Williston Graphic
- ➤ Summer school students from Trenton visited the NDSU Extension office in Williston last Thursday morning — they toured the site to learn about crops, seed crushing, and planting while viewing large agricultural machinery. The Extension will host its annual Field Days next Thursday to showcase the facility. KFYR-TV
