Lab schools for UNC System demonstrate significant gains | North Carolina
SUMMARY: A report highlights significant academic gains at lab schools established by the University of North Carolina Board of Governors, driven in part by additional funding for tutoring. Philip Byers from the Board cited the Appalachian State University Academy at Elkin, which saw a 22.9% increase in student achievement and an 18.5% growth score in the 2022-23 academic year. However, space limitations led to the cancellation of the lab school, disappointing Byers, who plans to advocate for continued support and funding for tutoring programs that effectively narrow educational gaps. He emphasized the positive impact of personalized tutoring on student performance.

Two women killed and several children hurt in Johnston County crash
SUMMARY: Two women in their 20s died in a car crash in Johnson County, with six children aged under 12 also in the vehicle; one child is in critical condition. The single-car accident occurred at the intersection of Government and Jack roads in Clayton. Investigators report that the driver, speeding about 30 mph over the limit and running a stop sign, lost control, hitting a ditch and a tree before the Jeep Cherokee went airborne. None of the occupants were wearing seat belts, and while alcohol isn’t suspected, the area has a history of crashes.
Two women were killed and several children were hospitalized after an SUV crashed Saturday night in Johnston County.

Pure Vegan Cafe in Durham received an 82, down from 91.5, for improper food storage, unclean equipment, and incorrect expiration dates. Randy’s Pizza in Morrisville was rated 86 (down from 94.5) due to employees failing to wash hands after handling personal items, inadequate food temperatures, and fly infestations. Chanello’s Pizza in Garner scored 88.5 (down from 91) after inspectors found expired ingredients, unclean baking trays, and a sticky fly ribbon above the prep sink.

Man sentenced in 2018 murder of 13-year-old Hania Aguilar tries twice to escape
SUMMARY: Robinson County Sheriff Bernes Wilkins reported heightened security during prisoner Michael McLen’s court hearing. McLen, who pled guilty to the kidnapping and murder of 13-year-old Hana Aguilar and was sentenced to life in prison, made two escape attempts. He first tried using a homemade handcuff key but was stopped by deputies. Returning to prison, McLen grabbed a deputy’s gun during a struggle before being subdued with pepper spray. Eyewitnesses noted his courtroom demeanor seemed insincere, raising questions about potential additional charges from the escape attempts.
Michael Ray McLellan admitted to kidnapping 13-year-old Hania Aguilar from her driveway and then killing her and disposing of her body. The crime happened in November 2018. On Friday, November 22, 2024, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Investigators say McLellan tried twice to escape from his prison guards — before and after the hearing.
