A school rooted in dreams _ and donations _ has become reality in Laurel
SUMMARY: In March, we shared the story of a nonprofit, tuition-free Christian school in Laurel, founded by Amanda Coie, who dreamed of giving students a central location with better resources. Following the story, generous strangers helped raise $200,000—enough to renovate the historic Old Glory House into the new Unlimited Dreams Christian Learning Center. The revamped facility now includes classrooms, a commercial kitchen, library, playground, and cafeteria. The school, which started during the pandemic, will soon host 117 students under one roof. An open house is set for Thursday, from 5 to 7 p.m., at 803 North 2 Avenue in Laurel.

SUMMARY: Eight months after a federal judge authorized a new court for the Capitol Complex Improvement District, the court has yet to be established. House Bill 1020 granted Capitol Police jurisdiction over a significant area and instructed Chief Justice Michael Randolph to appoint judges for the cases brought by the Capitol Police. Justice Randolph stated he cannot appoint judges until a courtroom is available, expressing optimism for the future once a building is secured. The old Wright and Ferguson Funeral Home is designated to become the new courtroom and Capitol Police headquarters, while a temporary court setup is in progress.

SUMMARY: Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens expressed concerns about significant budget cuts to his office, which he claims could jeopardize public safety. The county board has approved a 33% reduction in his office’s administrative and investigative staff, leading to the layoff of four employees. Owens accused Board President Robert Graham of prioritizing the construction of a new $100 million jail over funding law enforcement. He stated that several board members were unaware of the scope of the cuts and highlighted that Hinds County has the highest crime rate in Mississippi, emphasizing the potential impact on prosecution resources.
