School district arms teachers with mini-baseball bats in wake of shootings

On Monday, Sidney High School hosted a program created to help students see that their fellow students are not as different as they might believe, and that some of the “strangers” in the hallway might be future friends.

“We need the public education system to be fully funded”, DeWeese said. Although she said she may have considered her wording more carefully had she known the post would have such a large audience, she said she’s glad her words contributed to a larger discussion.
