A brief mid-April closure is planned during the transition—some students worry the change may lead to rising prices and a loss of school identity. FOX 11
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ The USDA ended two pandemic food programs—Local Food Purchase Assistance and Local Food for Schools—that helped Northeast Wisconsin farms get fresh produce to food pantries and schools. Farms like Ryan Sullivan’s lost about a quarter of their business while Lakeshore Community Pantry in Kewaunee will face an extra $1,000 monthly cost for food supplies. FOX 11
- ➤ State election officials remind Oshkosh voters that the spring election will be held on April 1 after misleading mailers from out-of-state groups falsely listed April 11 and used an incorrect candidate name. Voters are urged to request absentee ballots by March 27 through the official website (myvote.wi.gov) since unofficial messages may mimic government communications. Oshkosh Northwestern
