Best & Worst States In The US In Education – How Does ND Stand?
There are some amazing facts in this study that I had no clue existed. How much money would you guess is spent per student, per year, in public education in the United States? I wouldn't have a clue, and if I did make a stab at it, it certainly wouldn't be over $10,000 for each pupil. It's actually $6,000 more - that's right - $16,000 yearly according to wallethub.com.

Plan For More Wildfire Hazy Through The Week
Fires continue to burn sending wildfire haze across the United States. Monday, July 22 2024 was the first day in Fargo to see thicker surface haze to reduce visibility through the later afternoon and evening. Unfortunately, there are a few more days where surface layer haze will be affecting visibility and air quality across the region. Frankly, fires are not expected to stop anytime soon and haze is likely to funnel across the US through this week and likely the next couple of weeks. Towards the end of this week southerly winds will try to help push some of the smoke out of the area but more is likely to fill back in from fires on the West Coast of the US and the Pacific Northwest.
