Jonathan Rockey, the headteacher of the 1,705-pupil school, defended the change as ‘something we are very proud of’ and said parents had been consulted. But one called the decision to relax enforce restrictions on shorts even when temperatures pass 30 degrees Celsius as ‘insane’. They added: ‘The school appears to be deaf to...

Read MoreLawyers representing the parents of a Michigan teenager charged in a shooting at Oxford High School that left four of his fellow students dead said Monday that they plan to call him to testify at the couple's trial. Defense attorney Shannon Smith told Oakland County Circuit Judge Cheryl Matthews that Ethan Crumbley's testimony would be related to “extraneous matters” and not the Nov. 30 shooting. “We need him as a witness in this trial," said Smith, who represents Jennifer Crumbley. “There are just certain questions we would just not be able to ask. We do understand that." The disclosure came during court hearing in Pontiac, where Matthews ruled against the defense's motion for a change of venue for James and Jennifer Crumbley's involuntary manslaughter trial, which is tentatively schedul...

Read MoreThe Florida Department of Health is advising Clay County residents to be cautious around waterways because of harmful blue-green algae toxins found in the freshwater. The FDH said the alert is in response to a water sample taken on June 23. Blue-green algae are considered harmful because they can impact human health and ecosystems, including fish and other aquatic animals. The FDH said blue-green algae are common in Florida’s freshwater environments, especially in the summer and fall because of warmer temperatures, still water conditions and excess nutrients. Usually, a bloom occurs when the rapid growth of algae leads to an accumulation of individual cells that discolor water and often produce floating mats that emit unpleasant odors. Residents and visitors are advised to take the follow...

The four-star Pittsburg HS quarterback committed this weekend to play for the Hurricanes and former Oregon coach Mario Cristobal after his upcoming senior year. Rashada is listed as ESPN’s top dual-threat quarterback in the class of 2023 and the No. 5 quarterback overall. He was 146 of 256 for 2,220 yards, 27 touchdowns and just five interceptions last year.

The Supreme Court said Monday that a Washington state school district violated the First Amendment rights of a high school football coach when he lost his job after praying at the 50-yard line after games. The opinion was 6-3 along conservative-liberal ideological lines. “The Constitution and the best of our traditions counsel mutual respect and tolerance, not censorship and suppression, for religious and nonreligious views alike,” Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the majority opinion. The court said coach Joe Kennedy’s prayers amounted to private speech, protected by the First Amendment, and could not be restricted by the school district. The decision lowers the bar between church and state in an opinion that will allow more religious expression in public spaces. The court clarified that a g
