The Hurley Town Council recently passed an intent to adopt a revised Animal Control Ordinance that will increase the fees for dogs running at large. Under the revised ordinance, the fines for a dog running at large will be $150 for the first offense, $250 for the second offense and $500 for the third offense. In addition, the failure to license an animal will be $40. Residents who have not registered their pets are encouraged to do so as soon as possible with the Hurley Police Department. For more information on the ordinance, contact the Hurley Town Office.
Silver Consolidated Schools has announced that they will be introducing the “House System” into schools this fall. This system is designed to enhance educational experience for students, parents, teachers and staff by fostering a supportive and motivating community environment. The House System will also provide a supportive environment to students who might feel overwhelmed when entering a new grade or campus. The overall goal is to help students learn to value the traits and behaviors appreciated by their peers and to allow students of different ages to interact and learn from each other.
