Getting the jump on a higher education degree

Body

Two Tulsa public high schools have started a pilot program called Early College High School.

The plan allows 10th-grade students who qualify to take college courses. If they stick with the program, by the time they graduate they will have earned not only a high school diploma from Tulsa McClain or Tulsa Memorial, but will also have garnered an associate degree from Tulsa Community College.

All for free.

Sounds cutting edge.

Apparently, it’s not.

County task force tackles homelessness

Body

Homelessness impacts families across the Unites States – and communities in Canadian County are not immune.

That’s the message being shared by Haley Humphrey, who chairs the Canadian County Homeless Task Force committee.

“Homelessness is in everybody’s backyard,” Humphrey said. “Even if you’re not seeing it, it’s there.

“It’s a testament to our non-profits, who have seen such a huge increase (in need), especially with the pandemic, which has exposed homelessness like no other," she said.

City to change law firms for legal counsel

Body

In March, the Bass Law Firm will become the legal counsel for the city of El Reno.

City Manager Matt Sandidge said longtime City Attorney Roger Rinehart will serve in the capacity until March 1.

Rinehart has been El Reno’s city attorney since March of 2001 and has worked for seven different city managers.

Sandidge said the city last year interviewed three local law firms, Rinehart Law, Bass Law and Fogg Law.

Sandidge said Bass Law brings seven attorneys to the table and with growth in El Reno, the extra support was necessary at this time.
