Local This and That
GiveBIG has been extended to midnight tonight because of technical difficulties yesterday. Please consider giving so that your donation gets stretched from their giving fund. Have you been keeping up with the story on Bellevue High school and their football team ? Long story short, they became a football powerhouse when they hired a new coach around 2000. The team has won multiple state titles since then. But their school board heard rumors of improprieties and hired two lawyers to investigate. The main issue is students who don't live in their district being on the team as well as some of them not even attending the school and being at some off-site non-Bellevue district diploma mill program. And, Bellevue High had many more transfers of students who ended up playing football there than other high schools in the district.
