COMMUNITY NEWS

EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ Records show that school lunch debts in Wisconsin have risen sharply, with unpaid balances in the Wausau School District increasing 68%—community donations later reducing the net rise to 27%.

- ➤ Wisconsin health officials made the updated COVID vaccine available for anyone 6 months and older after Gov. Evers signed an executive order, so pharmacies now offer the shot without a prescription—helping more people get vaccinated. Major insurers are expected to cover the vaccine with no cost-sharing for patients. Wausau Daily Herald
