Lorain Middle and Whittier adopt small schools model
Lorain Middle splits into four and Whittier into three, each with seventh and eighth graders and its own principal. Administrators say the small-school setup boosts discipline, focus, and bonds, with fewer behavior problems and more organized classrooms. The district plans to extend the model to Admiral King and Southview high schools next fall.

Israel strikes Islamic Jihad base inside Syria near Damascus
Israel bombed the Emm Saheb complex northwest of Damascus claiming an Islamic Jihad training camp. The Sunday strike marked its deepest Syria raid since 1973, provoking regional protests as Islamic Jihad denied a base there and said the attack would not end resistance. The blast followed a deadly Palestinian bombing that killed 19 Israelis and wounded 55. Iran was accused of backing Islamic Jihad, and Israel vowed to pursue militants wherever they are.
