Viral Video Captures Coyotes Howling at Woodbridge Wildlife Refuge
A trail camera at the Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge in Woodbridge captured a video of three coyotes howling, which quickly gained attention online. Experts say these vocalizations are a natural way for coyotes to communicate and are not a sign of danger. Coyotes are common in Virginia, even in suburban areas, and residents are advised not to feed them. The wildlife refuge, home to diverse species, offers trails and scenic areas for visitors.

Brentsville High School’s Handling of Harassment Under Federal Scrutiny
A federal investigation found that Prince William County Schools failed to properly address racial and antisemitic harassment at Brentsville District High School in 2019. The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights determined that the school system did not take adequate steps to eliminate a racially hostile environment for Black students and raised concerns about its response to antisemitic incidents. As a result, the district reached an agreement with federal authorities in August, committing to specific actions aimed at improving how it handles discrimination and ensuring a safer environment for students.
