Dallas ISD May Require Parents to Take a Class if Their Children Misbehave
SUMMARY: The Dallas ISD school board is considering a proposal requiring parents to attend a class if their children misbehave. To avoid placing students in alternative schools, misbehaving students would instead perform community service or attend Saturday school while their parents take a three-hour parenting class. The proposal aims to address student misconduct without resorting to alternative schooling, which is mandated by state law for certain offenses. The board will discuss and decide on this proposal later in the month. (Source: WBAP/KLIF, June 14, 2024)

Hamas Clears the Way for a Possible Cease-fire in Gaza After Dropping Key Demand, Officials Say
SUMMARY: Hamas has given initial approval to a U.S.-backed phased cease-fire proposal in Gaza, dropping its demand for an upfront commitment from Israel to end the war. This compromise could lead to the first pause in fighting since November and pave the way for further negotiations. Nonetheless, a final deal is still uncertain. Meanwhile, the Gaza Health Ministry reports that an Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter killed at least 16 people and injured 50 others. The ongoing conflict involves repeated hostilities between Israel and Hamas. (July 6, 2024, Associated Press)
