22-Year-Old Faces Trafficking Charges | Reno News

McKim is now booked into county jail and charged with possession with intent to sell, trafficking, and transporting controlled substances — charges that reflect a large-scale operation, not personal use.

Sparks is about to get a major hotel upgrade—with two new properties set to debut at the Outlets at Legends. First up: a 67,000-square-foot Home2 Suites by Hilton, offering extended-stay comfort with kitchens and pet-friendly rooms. Then, an even bigger AC Element hotel, spanning 105,000 square feet and packing 199 rooms. This follows existing Hilton brands already serving the area, making the shopping center a prime lodging hub.

Nevada Schools Cut Red Tape for Teachers | Reno News

Nevada’s schools are slashing red tape—16 reports just got the axe, part of a sweeping push to free up thousands of hours for teachers and principals. A new state law is fueling this overhaul, targeting 89 reports for elimination, revision, or consolidation, so educators can focus on students, not paperwork. Smaller districts will especially benefit, with saved time and resources redirected straight into classrooms. By 2027, the goal is to streamline data collection across all 17 school districts and charter schools, thanks to a new Education Service Center partnership—making education more efficient, effective, and student-centered.
