Pro basketball is coming to El Reno. Without the games.
Two teams competing in The Basketball League (TBL) will be calling El Reno home, but neither will be playing games locally.
Jonathan Reed, owner and director of On-Point Hoops Academy, has moved the Wichita SkyKings from Kansas to Oklahoma and will run the day-to-day operations for the TBL team from the academy.
Cardinal Point, Canadian County’s family resource center, is moving operations into a new home in Yukon after four years in El Reno.
Redhawk Construction has managed a renovation project at the former Canadian County Health Department office, 1023 E. Vandament.
Providing hope will continue as the family justice center and its resource partners serve crime victims inside the 10,500-square-foot building – which was built in the early 1990s for the health department.
The Intervention and Crisis Advocacy Network (ICAN) will have three full-time staff members at the Cardinal Point Family Justice Center’s new location.
The move gives the organization locations in El Reno and now Yukon.
Both public and private partner agencies will assign staff on a full-time or part-time basis to provide services from inside the remodeled former county health department building at 1023 E. Vandament, Yukon.

Rider said her crew is “committed” to becoming certified Road Scholars.

The scope of the recent PowerSchool data breach is starting to take shape as school districts across Oklahoma, the United States and the world are working to inform those affected.
“This has a global reach. I have a friend that teaches at the American School in Dubai and their data was breached as well,” said Tera Roblyer, Director of Communications and Information Systems for El Reno Public Schools.
El Reno was notified Jan. 7 that PowerSchool servers had been accessed illegally and that certain data on its Teacher Table and Student Table had been stolen.
Maple School is growing and with that growth comes the need for more room.
The pre-kindergarten through eighth grade dependent school district will hold a $6.46 million bond issue on March 4.
If approved, Superintendent Chuck Hood said the results would lead to expansion of the school campus west of El Reno.
Hood said the proposed bond issue would not raise taxes. If approved, it will fund the construction of seven new classrooms, restrooms and offices. The expansion is needed because new housing developments are springing up inside the district boundaries.

Six of the seven members of the Oklahoma delegation in Washington, D.C. voted to keep the U.S. government operating in the most recent federal budget deal.
