Howell BOE Meeting Wednesday Night

It will be a very cold rest of the week across our area with not much of a chance of snow until the weekend and with schools back in session on Wednesday the Howell Board of Education is scheduled to meet on Wednesday night.

Held at Middle School North there are several items on the agenda including recognition of retiring teacher Renee Rosen and retiring bus driver Bonnie Monsen. There will also be a presentation by Director of Security Neil Brosnan on safety and security in the district.

The snow may have passed for at least a few days but there is nothing but cold weather in our immediate future. The high for today is expected to be around 32 degrees on a sunny day before a chilling low of 17 tonight.

On this date in 1816 Indiana became the 19th state and in 1936 King Edward VIII abdicated the throne to marry Wallis Warfield Simpson. Germany and Italy declared War on the United States on this date in 1941 and Apollo 17 became the last space mission to put a man on the moon in 1972.

Famous birthdays today include actress Rita Moreno and Secretary of State John Kerry.
