Changes To ACT Test For Michigan High Schoolers Coming In 2025
I remember being in elementary and middle school preparing for the ACT that I would have to take in my junior year of high school. My classmates and I were told that the skills we were learning from 3rd-10th grade would accurately prepare our brains for one of the most important tests of our lives. Well, they couldn't be more wrong since the state of Michigan switched to the SAT during my sophomore year of high school.

Stellantis tells owners of over 24,000 hybrid minivans to park outdoors due to battery fire risk
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — Stellantis is telling the owners of more than 24,000 plug-in hybrid minivans to park them outdoors away from buildings, and to stop charging them due to the possibility of battery fires. The company said Thursday that it’s recalling certain 2017 through 2021 Chrysler Pacifica plug-in hybrids, mainly in North America. Some are being recalled for a second time. All can still be driven. Stellantis, maker of Jeep, Chrysler, Ram and other vehicle brands, said its investigation is ongoing but the company has linked the problem to a rare abnormality in individual battery cells. The risk of fires is reduced when the battery is depleted. A company review of warranty data discovered seven fires within the group of vans being recalled. All happened when the vehicles were turned off, and some occurred during charging, Stellantis said. Four customers reported symptoms of smoke inhalation.
