Tre Sisco wanted a teaching job with a good work-life balance after graduating from Missouri Southern State University in 2023.
During his job hunt, he learned Missouri’s Independence School District was moving to a nontraditional, four-day school week — a change that would give staff and students Mondays off.
The district is part of a growing trend in rural communities, where schools are switching to four-day school weeks to attract and retain high-quality teachers amid funding challenges and a nationwide teacher shortage. (CNN)
A shortage of teachers is the primary motive driving this trend.
Every winter, millions of monarch butterflies journey thousands of miles across North America to spend winters in the forests and mountains of central Mexico.
But over the years, the beloved butterfly has seen such a troubling decline in its population that US wildlife officials on Tuesday announced a proposal to protect with the Endangered Category.
Growing threats such as habitat loss from illegal logging, exposure to insecticides, and the climate crisis have dramatically shifted the monarch’s breeding and migratory patterns.
The law states that a species is labeled “threatened” when it is likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future. (CNN)
Joe Burrow’s house was the target of a break-in while the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback was in Texas facing the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night, according to CNN affiliate WLWT.
CNN has reached out to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office in Ohio, Burrow’s representative and the Bengals for comment.
The NFL told CNN that the league has been in touch with the Bengals but declined to comment further.
According to WLWT, the sheriff’s office confirmed the break-in, which the TV station says is in Anderson Township, but did not provide other information.
Last month, the NFL – as well as the NBA and NHL – warned teams that organized and skilled groups are targeting the homes of athletes for break-ins, including while the players are away at games.

It’s become obvious high earning athletes must have guards protecting their homes while at “away games.”
If you were to think about the key to getting fit, you’d probably imagine you need to spend plenty of time in the gym.
But many fitness influencers assert that taking time away from the gym every six to eight weeks — known as a “deload week” — is actually the key to improving fitness gains.
Deload weeks mostly involve toning down the intensity of your workouts.
These are typically done during periods of heavy training.
The express aim of a deload week is to give the body time to recover from the fatigue and damage that can be caused by periods of intense training.
Intense training or high volumes of training cause us to accumulate damage in our muscle tissues.
While this damage is an essential part of the process in improving fitness gains, these improvements can only happen if the body has time to recover. (CNN)
