FOR MINNESOTA STUDENTS LOOKING TO ATTEND COLLEGE IN NORTH DAKOTA, TAKING THE ACT OR SAT OR OTHER STANDARDIZED TESTS WILL NO LONGER BE NECESSARY FOR ADMISSION. THE NORTH DAKOTA STATE BOARD OF HIGHER EDUCATION VOTED TO REMOVE THAT REQUIREMENT, EFFECTIVE AUGUST 1, 2023. THOSE TESTS CAN STILL BE PART OF QUALIFYING FOR VARIOUS SCHOLARSHIPS, AND REMOVING THE REQUIREMENT MEANS A HIGHER EMPHASIS WILL BE PUT ON A STUDENTS GRADE POINT AVERAGE.
THERE WAS A FATAL CAR-TRAIN ACCIDENT ON THE TRACKS JUST OF HIGHWAY ELEVEN ON COUNTY ROAD 134, EAST OF WARROAD. THAT OCCURRED EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. TO THIS POINT, IT IS ONLY KNOWN THAT THE VICTIM WAS FEMALE.
SEVERE WEATHER MOVED ACROSS MUCH OF MINNESOTA YESTERDAY, WITH THE HEAVIEST RAIN LOCALLY ARRIVING LATE IN THE EVENING. THERE WERE REPORTS OF DAMAGE FROM HIGH WINDS IN DEER RIVER, AND AT LEAST ONE FUNNEL CLOUD WAS REPORTED TO HAVE TOUCHED DOWN NEAR ALEXANDRIA.
