By July of 2020, The Westmont apartment building in the Highland Square neighborhood of Akron will be ready to take new tenants.  Those tenants will be families with children that attend the 'I Promise' School, who may be in need of a safe place to call home while the Lebron James Family Foundation helps them to work out a long term plan to better their situation.   The “I Promise Village by Graduate Hotels” is a joint effort by Graduate Hotels and the LJFF to provide transitional housing for students and their families who may be in a difficult situation and have nowhere else to go.  Renovations and updates have already begun on the building, just 5 blocks from the I Promise School, with the goal to have it move-in ready for the next school year.

With the concerns of underage vaping growing by the day in NEO, many schools are trying new things to try and curb teens from picking up the habit.

Revere Local School district in Summit County announced that 16 Vape detectors have been installed this year.  The Detectors were purchased with grant money and detect chemicals released by vape products and will alert school authorities to the location of use.  While these machines do not record audio or video, they will also pick up audio anomalies  that could be associated with bullying.

The list of Stark County High Schools that have decided to ban the use of Cell Phones continues to grow.

Northwest, East Canton and Washington High Schools decided to adopt the policy this year, joining other schools in the County including Perry, Louisville and Marlington.

Several years ago the devices were looked at as a resource and students were permitted to use them in the classroom, but over the last few years as more schools have been able to provide students with laptops to use during classes, the phones have become more of a distraction.

Always one to give back to his Hometown, LeBron James made a trip back to Akron to unveil some new additions and improvements at his "I Promise" School on West Market street on Wednesday.

A media lab, a family training center, a family resource wing and an area called “believers bend”, which highlights the achievements of some of history's biggest underdogs, were among the new additions inside the facility, but the highlight of the day was outside:  An updated and state-of-the-art Basketball Court!

LeBron and the rest of the "Fab Five" (his former high school teammates from St.V) along with Head Coach Dru Joyce were all on hand to help christen the court with a 5 on 5 game against the kids.
