The Temporary Restraining Order that was issued recently to prevent the U.S. Department of Labor from “issuing, enforcing, implementing, maintaining or giving effect to any shutdown tasks, job terminations, or student removals, and from taking any further action to eliminate the Job Corps program without Congressional authorization” has been extended until June 25, following the Preliminary Injunction hearing that occurred on June 17.
“This means the court has not yet made a final decision on the legality of the proposed pause of Job Corps operations and will continue its deliberations,” according to documents issued to all Job Corps campuses.
Job Corps, including Gary Job Corps, will continue to operate “as close to business as usual as possible.”

The courthouse lawn was completely filled with hundreds of people Saturday, June 14 protesting the current administration’s policies and what they consider to be authoritarian behavior. There were 2,100 No Kings Protests that occurred across the nation and coincided with President Donald Trump’s birthday, according to the No Kings website.

An official with the city of San Marcos said there were no arrests or reports of property damage during the protest, which was a peaceful demonstration.

“There was an incident that occurred after the official protest concluded involving a counter-protester who was briefly detained. The individual was not arrested, and the incident remains under investigation,” an official with the city stated. “The San Marcos Police Department’s approach focused on ensuring the safety of everyone involved and protecting property, while also supporting the community’s right to peacefully exercise their First Amendment rights.”

Mathworks prepares students for a bright future

Math is a fundamental skill in any education, but at Mathworks Junior Summer Math Camp, students explore the fun in fundamentals. The program serves around 200 students mainly from San Marcos in grades third through eighth. The young scholars spend two weeks improving their skills in math, with the goal to inspire kids to use these skills when pursuing careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. This program is led by Texas State University with support from San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District.

The Mathworks program was started by Max Warshauer in the early 90s. He founded the Honors Sumer Math Camp in 1990, which is a prestigious six week program for high school students. In 1996 he extended the love of math to younger students by establishing the Junior Summer Math Camp. He had attended a program at Ohio State when he was in high school that mixed young scholars with college graduates. The experience of learning higher level math skills in high school led him on a path that included a PhD and becoming a Regents’ Professor at Texas State University.

Chief’s Advisory Panel to host community feedback forum

The Chief’s Advisory panel — a group that serves as the middleman between San Marcos Police Department, and specifically Chief Stan Standridge and the community — will be holding an event to allow the citizens of San Marcos to share their feedback on the work that SMPD is doing. The event will be held from 3 to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 22 at the San Marcos Public Library.
“The panel is a group of 12 citizen members who represent the diversity of the city demographically in terms of types of residents,” said Stephanie Korcheck, Chief ’s Advisory Panel member. “Our purpose is to represent the community, to provide guidance to the chief as they’re thinking about policy, [and] to get information out about the department with the very clear distinction that we are not advocates for the department. Our job is not to make the department look good or to defend the department; our job is to provide information to the public about the department that they might not know about.”
