DUBOIS, Pa. (WJAC) — The American Rescue Plan injected some much-needed money to all the states, especially for education.
Dubois Area School District announced that it plans to direct some of that grant money toward assisting their homeless students.
A Dubois Area principal told us there are about 70 homeless students in the school district.
And with $51,000 in grant money, they plan to give these students a helping hand over the next three years.
The Dunnings Creek Friends Meeting, a local Quaker meeting, hosted journalist and author Cody McDevitt of Somerset as the first speaker in their ‘Still Listening’ guest speaker series on local history in September.
McDevitt spoke about his book,"Banished From Johnstown: Racist Backlash in Western Pennsylvania," which tells the story of one of the worst civil rights injustices in the history of our state. When in 1923, the mayor of Johnstown ordered over 2,000 Black and Latino residents were forcibly evicted out of Johnstown after the fatal shooting of four policemen.
