September 26, 2025: Guns at high school sports, Colorado Springs’ public safety, Dracula ballet, free National Parks
Description
Two large school districts are trying to protect their high school games from gun violence, and testing new approaches. Then, Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade doubles down on public safety, and you’ll find out why he thinks the decision to relocate U.S. Space Command was disappointing but “largely symbolic.” Plus, you can get caught up in Halloween with the staging of a Dracula ballet. And, visit National Parks for free tomorrow.
