President Zelensky says the world must respond firmly after Russia attacked Ukraine with one of its heaviest bombardments of the war.

Serving on a school board is not a glamorous position, but it’s an important one that plays a big role in Native American students’ success. Elected members of school boards make decisions ranging annual budgets to what’s allowed in classroom lessons. They are also responsible for representing the community’s values and interests. As such, individual board members are lightning rods for public criticism. We’ll get a look at what school board members encounter on a daily basis and hear about a program designed to support Native school board participation.

Also: Nvidia didn't meet Wall Street’s lofty expectations, and Cracker Barrel’s logo saga shows us the power of upset consumers.
