Following advice from school nurses, high schoolers were sent home Thursday, with elementary students following Friday, halting classes until Monday.

Republican bill would block illegal immigrants from receiving tax breaks | National
SUMMARY: The Safeguarding American Workers’ Benefits Act, reintroduced by Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, aims to prevent illegal immigrants in the U.S. from receiving Child Tax Credits (CTC) and Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC). The legislation mandates that parents and children need valid Social Security numbers for employment to qualify for these tax benefits. Rep. Clay Higgins has introduced a similar bill in the House. The U.S. Joint Committee on Taxation estimates the bill could save nearly $28 billion over ten years. This initiative aligns with Republican efforts to cut federal spending while addressing immigration policies under President Trump.
