As it turned out each of the eight candidates vying for the position all expressed this characteristic in their comments and answers to questions posed by community members. In what was most likely the most important question asked at the forum, every candidate replied that they were in favor of a local search for the next school superintendent.

June 19 is now a federal holiday. Historically known as Jubilee Day or Emancipation Day, the celebration originated in Galveston, Texas, to commemorate that day in 1865 when General Order No. 3 proclaimed the freedom of remaining slaves in Texas then the last state of the Confederacy. It enforced Republican President Abraham Lincoln s Emancipation Proclamation, which took effect on January 1 of 1863.
The official holiday, called Juneteenth National Independence Day, received unanimous support in the Senate and overwhelming bipartisan support in the House the only objections being how Democrats had politicized the commemoration. President Donald Trump advocated for the date s national holiday status last year, and it s the first national holiday to receive legal status since the establishment of Martin Luther King Jr. Day by Ronald Reagan in 1983.
