Hope School Board approves playground, personnel and student hearings

“I would like to say thank you to the community,” said Clinton Primary Principal Ashlea Stewart at the special called Hope Public School Board meeting Thursday night. Superintendent Dr.Jonathan Crossley turned attention to Stewart saying she was “really excited” about the project and said she could answer questions. Stewart explained the old playground was installed when the school was built over 30 years ago. “Currently three-fourths of that structure is condemned and boarded up.” She said fundraising had continued for 14 years, with typical fundraisers only bringing in between 1,200 and 3,000 dollars each time. With community donations and help from the school’s magnet program, they were able to move forward, even securing a 40% discount on new equipment according to Stewart.

Mike McNeill's Diary for Thursday, November 5, 2026: It's the law

The law firm located at the corner of Calhoun and Jackson has gone through many changes over the years and is now settling into its most recent incarnation as Magnolia Law PLLC. Ryan Rainwater is no longer a partner. He is the newly elected prosecuting attorney for the 13th Judicial District in South Central Arkansas, including Columbia County. The longest practicing partner in the firm is our friend, Steve R. Crane, who received his law degree in 1978 and who had been practicing in Magnolia almost as long. Joel Hutcheson has left his brief, independent practice after working more than four years as an associate at Bell & Boyd. He joins Magnolia Law as a partner. Amy Freedman is the firm’s new associate. She has been both a public defender and a prosecutor, and is a past president of the SAU Alumni Board.

Shreveport’s mayoral runoff is set. There’s more in play than just a head-to-head vote.

Shreveport voters still have some voting to do. Some factors that went into their decisions Tuesday are still in play — but others won't be. The seven-candidate race to be Shreveport's next mayor narrowed to two Tuesday night during a wave election that saw Democrats nationwide swept into power. Now voters will return to the polls to make a final choice in December, but that race could shape up differently.

Caddo Parish leaders weigh next steps after $60M sports complex defeat

(The Center Square) - Caddo Parish officials say the $60 million sports complex could still move forward despite voters rejecting it Tuesday. However, they plan to review residents' concerns before deciding what to do next. Parish Administrator Erica Bryant said the parish was disappointed by the results but recognized that residents had concerns about the proposal. "We don't consider this a failure," Bryant said. "We consider this an opportunity to hear from our citizens." Bryant said the parish wants to take the opportunity to address voters' concerns, assess those concerns, analyze and determine what their next steps will be. Some residents and groups like the Caddo Parish Republican Party opposed the measure, questioning the amount and whether the parish should prioritize roads, public safety and infrastructure instead of a sports complex. Roughly 58% of Caddo Parish voters, or 39,156, opposed the bond proposal, while 42%, or 28,355, supported it. The measure failed by 10,801 votes.
