概要

Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Thursday, February 12th.

We start with developing news out of Mount Baker School District, where multiple investigations are underway following reports of student misconduct at Harmony Elementary. Superintendent Jessica Schenck sent a message to families and staff this week clarifying that the investigation centers on student behavior and the district's response to it. She emphasized that staff members are not under suspicion for inappropriate behavior with students. Principal Todd Matthews has been placed on administrative leave as part of standard procedure. The Whatcom County Sheriff's Office opened their own investigation on January 22nd. Due to the minors involved, details remain limited, but Schenck noted that some social media posts have mischaracterized the situation.

On a different front, PeaceHealth is notifying employees of significant layoffs coming in April. The healthcare system announced that 94 employees across several facilities will be laid off on April 12th, with 26 of those positions in Whatcom County locations. The cuts will affect staff at St. Joseph Medical Center, the Chestnut Building, Cordata locations, and several other facilities including the Cancer Center and Squalicum Surgery Center.

Looking at education, Bellingham Public Schools has an early dismissal day today, with elementary schools letting out earlier than normal. This is also happening next Thursday, February 19th, so families should plan accordingly.

For those looking to have some fun this evening, Bellingham has plenty of options. The Sweet Heart Swing Dance is happening right now at Western Washington University in the Viking Union Multi-Purpose Room from 6 to 8 p.m. It's a collaboration between Viking Swing and the Western Americana Music Group, featuring bluegrass music and swing dancing with a Valentine's Day theme. If you prefer trivia, Stones Throw Brewery is hosting Thursday Trivia from 7 to 9 p.m. For live music lovers, Zeeks Pizza has performances from 7 to 9 p.m., and The Upfront Theatre is showing The GBU at 7:30 p.m. Those interested in art can check out Rachel Foreman Watercolors at the Allied Arts of Whatcom County Gallery, open today from noon to 5 p.m.

Also on the calendar, an event called The Art of Accountability is happening from 2 to 5 p.m. today, offered both in person at the Whatcom Dispute Resolution Center and as a hybrid experience.

That's what's happening in and around Bellingham today. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
