This evening's new local reports include an extended Corinth school fundraiser deadline and a Union County classroom visit. A newly published regional football preview also confirms Benton County's Ashland game for tonight. The school district announced its extension Tuesday, Oct. 27; the Alcorn County News report appeared Thursday.
Alcorn: Corinth school tag pre-orders extended to Nov. 19
The Corinth School District Foundation says it has extended the pre-order deadline for its proposed Warrior specialty license plate to Nov. 19. The foundation needs 300 pre-orders before the Mississippi Department of Revenue can begin producing the plates. Each application carries a $33 fee, of which $24 goes to the foundation, the district says. Alcorn County News reported the extension Thursday. The district's tag page has application instructions. The deadline change was announced Tuesday, not made this evening.
Union: Sheriff's staff speak with students
Chief Deputy Baron Baker, investigators Adam Fitts and Calub Merritt, and school resource officer Tommy Sloan spoke to a college and career readiness class about law enforcement careers, Union County News reported Thursday, citing an original school post. The four also spoke to a health class about narcotics and their effects. The report did not specify the date of the classroom visit.
Benton: Ashland scheduled to host Byers tonight
