1. The DEA will move to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug, recognizing its medical use and acknowledging that it has less potential for abuse than other drugs. This would be the agency’s most significant policy change in around 50 years. Marijuana would move from a Class I drug, alongside heroin and LSD, to a Class III drug, alongside anabolic steroids and ketamine. It would not legalize marijuana outright for recreational use. (AP)

2. Despite parent concerns, Eid will continue to be observed by Lewiston Public Schools, according to a letter from the Superintendent.

Parents’ concerns about the Muslim holidays are because of the challenge “to plan for their children and their work schedule due to the nature of not knowing when Eid will occur.” The dates are based on sightings of the lunar phase.
