ARLnow Weekend Discussion

It’s Friday which means you made it to the weekend: Congratulations you!

If you’ve made it this far, you waded through this week’s national news headlines to read our coverage on local issues like the School Board settling with the Department of Justice over allegations of inadequate services for some English-learner students.
