A forensic audit blamed mismanagement and too-rosy enrollment projections for Epic's 2024-25 layoffs and need for a large loan.

This is a special edition of ENN Now. The students are joined by Epic Superintendent Dr. Shaun Ross. We hear from Dr. Ross about his background and goals for the district. Plus, we have a look at several of the plans happening at the state capitol. And, we have a look at the weather and the dangers of the unseasonably warm January.

In this mini-documentary project, Corbin Carpenter explores the new state law regarding cell phones in classrooms. The project talks to students and teachers about the change and whether it's positive, negative, or if it's had no impact at all.
