We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?

The hearing will take place during the Board’s regular monthly meeting and is scheduled to last one hour. The draft policy, first introduced to the Board in January, aims to enhance students’ mathematical understanding and fluency by implementing a structured math program. The proposal focuses on aligning instructional practices with the goal of preparing students for higher education, careers, and real-world problem-solving. The policy is available for public review and written feedback on the MSDE website.
Following the hearing, the Board’s Education Policy Committee will reconvene on March 13 to review public comments and further consider the policy. In addition to the hearing, the Board’s regular public comment period will take place earlier in the day for 30 minutes.
