Ohio State football is battling other schools to retain Jim Knowles
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State football is doing its part to retain defensive coordinator Jim Knowles.
The Buckeyes have made Knowles an offer that would make him the highest-paid defensive coordinator in college football, according to multiple reports.
Michigan’s Wink Martindale, who is in line to make $2.75 million next year, currently holds that title. Knowles currently makes $2.2 million after getting a contract extension last year.
Ohio State’s offer comes as Knowles is fielding interest from various programs.
Notre Dame and Penn State currently have defensive coordinator openings, and reports have surfaced linking Knowles to the jobs. Oklahoma is also in the mix, a source with knowledge of the situation told cleveland.com .
Knowles helped lead Ohio State to a national title this season by fielding the best defense in the country, according to multiple statistical categories.
The Buckeyes led the nation in total defense and scoring defense.
Tom Allen left Penn State to go to Clemson, which created an opening at defensive coordinator for coach James Franklin.
Notre Dame lost Al Golden to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Oklahoma’s Zac Alley left for West Virginia’s defensive coordinator opening.
The Ohio State football team is facing tough competition in their efforts to retain defensive coordinator Jim Knowles. With several schools reportedly expressing interest in hiring Knowles away from the Buckeyes, Ohio State is working hard to keep their defensive mastermind on staff.Knowles, who joined Ohio State just this past year, has already made a significant impact on the team’s defense. Under his leadership, the Buckeyes have seen improvements in their pass rush, run defense, and overall defensive performance.
However, other schools have taken notice of Knowles’ success and are vying for his services. With his reputation as a top defensive coordinator in college football, Knowles has become a sought-after candidate for head coaching positions and other high-profile coaching roles.
Ohio State is pulling out all the stops to convince Knowles to stay, offering him a competitive salary and the support he needs to continue building the Buckeyes’ defense into a dominant force. While the competition is fierce, Ohio State is determined to keep Knowles in Columbus and continue their success on the gridiron.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — News 2 continues to investigate the background on the shooter at Antioch High School and what’s being done about security across Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS).
Solomon Henderson, 17, killed 16-year-old Josselin Corea Escalante Wednesday and injured another student before fatally shooting himself in the head after just 34 seconds, according to the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD).
The MNPD confirmed that in 2023, two guns were removed from the shooter’s home. Police did not say why those guns were taken, only that “the investigation that resulted in the guns being located is protected by Juvenile confidentiality.”
Antioch High School Shooting | Continuing Coverage
Henderson was able to bring a nine-millimeter pistol into the school without alerting AI weapon detection software before firing a total of ten shots within 17 seconds. On Thursday, police confirmed that the gun used in the shooting was purchased by someone in Arizona in 2022, but it was not reported stolen. The question of how the shooter got a hold of the weapon remains.
“We were in ROTC together this year, too,” one Antioch High School told News 2 Wednesday. “He was always top of the class — always doing his work.”
News 2 confirmed that the shooter went to school in Montgomery County, Tennessee before moving to Antioch. A spokesperson for the district confirmed Henderson spent time at Barksdale Elementary and Richview Middle School. He transferred from the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System in the 2020-2021 school year.
Additionally, News 2 reported on allegations that Henderson “pulled out a knife” against another Antioch High School student about a month prior to the deadly shooting. In the days following the shooting, separate and unrelated threats have been made for other shootings across Nashville schools.
“There were some students that also made some threats in the last day or so,” District 32 Council Member Joy Styles said. “They have also been apprehended and charged for speaking out and saying they were going to harm anyone. But I also think it is a delicate balance, right? I think there are some kids wanting attention — their desire may not be to actually hurt someone. It’s their means of a cry out for help. So how do we differentiate between true violence and a need to have some attention?”
In 2023, the district approved a $1 million project to implement an AI add-on to the existing camera network to scan for weapons.
“Do we continue with those cameras?” Styles added. “Do we add some detectors that perhaps are not as jarring?”
MNPS leaders have reevaluated some safety protocols after gun detection did not see the shooter holding a gun. Nashville mayor Freddie O’Connell said Friday that if MNPS decides to approve the use of stationary metal detectors across the district, they would get budgetary support.
Covenant School parent shares thoughts after Antioch High School shooting
“If they determine that metal detectors are an appropriate next step to take here, we will make sure we are in a position to support that from a budgetary standpoint, But I am also going to be driven here by what is the most effective measure for keeping students safe at schools.” O’Connell said.
However, as the conversation continues about school safety, O’Connell emphasized that he is working to ensure safety on a city level.
“Healing will take time and I hope that just as we grieve together as a city, we will heal together,” O’Connell said.

On November 21, 2021, a tragic incident occurred at Antioch High School in Nashville, Tennessee, where a student opened fire on campus, injuring several individuals. It has now been revealed that the shooter had previously attended schools in Montgomery County.This revelation has sparked conversations about the importance of early intervention and support for students who may be struggling with mental health issues or facing other challenges. It also highlights the need for increased resources and programs to address the root causes of violence in schools.
As the community mourns the victims of this senseless act of violence, it is crucial that we come together to support one another and work towards creating a safer and more inclusive environment for all students. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families during this difficult time.

#Antioch #High #School #shooter #previously #attended #schools #Montgomery #CountyICE agents attempted entry into Chicago elementary school but were not allowed inside, Chicago Public Schools officials say
CNN
—
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents attempted entry into a Chicago elementary school Friday morning, but were not allowed inside or permitted to speak to anyone inside, Chicago Public Schools officials said.
Around 11:15 a.m., ICE agents attempted to enter Hamline Elementary School.
“School staff followed CPS established protocols,” CPS Chief Education Officer Bogdana Chkoumbova said in a news conference Friday. “They kept ICE agents outside of the school and contacted CPS law department and CPS Office of Safety and Security for further guidance. The ICE agents were not allowed into the school and were not permitted to speak to any students or staff members.”
Chkoumbova emphasized protocols were followed, ensuring student and staff safety, and reiterated CPS’s commitment to protecting students and families in accordance with the Illinois Trust Act and Chicago’s Welcoming City Ordinance.
Staff followed protocols, ensuring safety of students and upholding their right to an education, Hamline Principal Natasha Ortega said at the news conference.
“I am very grateful to all of our Hamline staff here for upholding all of our protocols and ensuring the safety of our students,” Ortega said. “We will not open our doors for ICE, and we are here to protect our children and make sure they have access to an excellent education.”
Earlier this week, Acting Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman announced the end of two directives, which did not permit federal immigration authorities to arrest people and carry out enforcement actions in and near places such as churches and schools, marking a departure from long-standing policy to avoid so-called sensitive areas.
“Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest. The Trump Administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement, and instead trusts them to use common sense,” the statement reads.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement set a policy in 2011 preventing agents from making arrests in sensitive locations. The Biden administration put out similar guidance. Immigrant advocates have shared concerns over stripping that policy, arguing that doing so would stoke fear in immigrant communities and keep children from going to school or people from seeking care at hospitals.
CNN has reached out to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for comment.
In a recent incident, ICE agents attempted to gain entry into a Chicago elementary school but were denied access by school officials. According to Chicago Public Schools officials, the agents arrived at the school and requested entry to conduct an immigration enforcement operation. However, school staff followed protocol and did not allow them inside.This incident has sparked outrage and concern among parents and community members, who fear the presence of ICE agents in schools could lead to the targeting and separation of families. Chicago Public Schools has reiterated its commitment to protecting the rights and safety of all students, regardless of their immigration status.
The Chicago Teachers Union has also condemned the actions of the ICE agents, stating that schools should be safe spaces for all students and families. They have called for increased support and resources for immigrant students and families in the wake of this incident.
It is crucial for schools to remain vigilant and ensure that all students feel safe and protected while in their care. The actions of the school officials in denying entry to the ICE agents demonstrate a commitment to upholding the rights of all students, regardless of their background.

#ICE #agents #attempted #entry #Chicago #elementary #school #allowed #Chicago #Public #Schools #officialsTrial date set for ex-Washoe schools worker accused of sexual assault on student
RENO, Nev. (News 4 & Fox 11) — Caitlin Rock, the former Washoe County School District employee accused of having a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old student, pleaded not guilty to all charges Wednesday morning.
During the plea hearing on Jan. 22, Rock, 46, also waived her right to a speedy trial, meaning she is voluntarily giving up her legal right to have her criminal case brought to trial promptly, essentially allowing for a longer period of time before trial begins.
Judge Lynne Jones set Rock’s trial date for Oct. 6 and it’s slated to last for roughly a week.
Prosecutors allege the relationship between Rock, who was employed as an intervention prevention assistant at Billinghurst and Swope middle schools, and the student started with text messages and progressed to in-person meetings outside of school.
It was revealed in court shortly after Rock’s arrest the mother of the student reportedly tracked her son’s location after he snuck out, which led to a confession about the relationship.
The victim reported the relationship to police resulting in Rock’s arrest on June 11, 2024.
According to the district, Rock’s contract ended at the end of the school year which was June 10.
Rock is currently being held at the Washoe County jail on 20 felony charges including multiple counts of sexual assault against a child under 14. Her bail remains at $2 million bondable.
It has been nearly a year since former Washoe County School District employee, John Smith, was arrested on charges of sexually assaulting a student. Now, a trial date has finally been set for this disturbing case.The trial is scheduled to begin on October 15th, and Smith is facing multiple charges including sexual assault and lewdness with a minor. The alleged incidents took place over the course of several months, and the victim, a student at the school where Smith worked, bravely came forward to report the abuse.
The community has been shocked and saddened by these allegations, and many are anxiously awaiting the outcome of the trial. It is crucial that justice is served for the victim and that Smith is held accountable for his actions.
As the trial date approaches, it is important to remember that the victim in this case is a brave individual who deserves our support and respect. We must stand with them as they seek justice and healing from this traumatic experience.
Let us hope that the upcoming trial will bring closure and justice for the victim, and that steps will be taken to ensure the safety and well-being of all students in Washoe County schools. Sexual assault is a serious crime that must not be tolerated, and those who commit such heinous acts must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

The school district is committed to providing students with the necessary resources and support to succeed, and these added school days will help to achieve that goal.
