Good morning, Waterloo.

Police are investigating a break-in at a Waterloo liquor store early Monday.

Waterloo police arrested three people for stealing weapons from a Mason City gun store+ their Violent Crime Apprehension team searched two homes and seized at least four guns.

Superintendent Jared Smith and two former administrators from Central Middle School are under state board investigation for ethics violations.

The probe focuses on alleged failures to protect students and staff (the district has not yet responded).

Union Middle School teacher Laurie Driscol from La Porte City was chosen as a summer trainer for Capturing Kids’ Hearts, a national program that will guide school districts in boosting school culture and student engagement.

School officials said her role as a leader (of the CKH Process Champions team and LeadWorthy course instructor) shows her strong commitment to education.
