A statewide open enrollment approach alongside wraparound student support services ensures every student, no matter their test scores, income level, demographic, or circumstance, is provided a fair chance at a college education. For many st...

Instead, the County Commission sponsored a resolution appointing an Opioid Abatment Fund Administrator (resolution 09-24F-23) to serve as the point of contact with the state to distribute the money. Houston Hamblin was appointed as administrator....
