Wisconsin lawmakers propose AB six seventy-eight, a bill requiring schools to establish clear communication policies with students by July 2026, following a report of over 200 teacher license investigations for sexual misconduct or grooming from 2018 to 2023. The bill aims to prevent inappropriate out-of-school hour communications without parental knowledge. A related bill, coauthored by Representative Amy Nedweski, makes grooming a felony in Wisconsin. The policy would cover content, methods, and consequences, allowing districts to tailor it to their community. The Department of Public Instruction supports the bill and added an amendment for yearly training on spotting grooming and boundary issues. Democrats question funding for implementation, while the Wisconsin Association of School Boards supports the bill but worries about listing exact punishments. The deadline may be pushed to September 2026 to give districts more time. Checkout Solipillow.com

Aldis Old North Milwaukee Store Closing: A Blow to Food AccessThe Aldi grocery store at 5301 North Hopkins Street in Old North Milwaukee is shutting down permanently this Sunday, January 11th. This store, a vital source of fresh foods in the neighborhood, is one of just six Aldi locations in the city. The closure, part of a broader trend of recent grocery store closures in the area, is causing concern among local leaders who fear it will exacerbate food access issues, particularly for those without cars. Alderwoman Andrea Pratt expressed disappointment, noting the closure will make life harder for regular customers and contribute to the divestment from the North Side, which already lacks fresh food options. Aldi plans to reassign staff and resources to other Milwaukee stores, and Pratt is committed to working with the city and businesses to attract new grocery stores to the area.
