Tennessee district bans doctor's notes to exempt kids from school to teach them good work ethic
A school district in Tennessee will no longer accept doctor's notes as an excuse for a child's absence in an apparent attempt to prepare them for the workplace. New rules set out by the Lawrence County School System Board of Education state that 'absences are not excused' and only permits them in a number of specific circumstances. Regular illness is not included in the list. Sanctions for multiple instances of alleged truancy include loss of school event privileges and even referral to juvenile court for truancy. 'If you have the sniffles, that is fine,' Director of Schools Michael Adkins said during a recent meeting. 'You are going to have them when you go to work one day. We have all gone to work sick and hurt and beat up.' The new attendance policy states that 'absences shall be classified as absent' and 'absences are not excused or unexcused.' Social media users acted with outrage to the news, with one writing: 'I hope teachers send kids to his office to throw up.' 'Where were the parents when this type of policy was being passed?' questioned another. 'What can be the reasoning behind this?' another person asked 'This is not right nor fair to the children.' '[If] I was a parent I would pull my kid out of school cause you are putting other students and their parents at risk of potential illness!' added another. The district's policy adds that exemptions can be made by a school's principal in circumstances including a death in the family, religious observance, court summons, school-endorsed or military activities, or circumstances out of the students' control. Absence is also permitted in cases of chronic illness 'verified by a licensed medical provider practicing in Tennessee,' according to the policy. That includes pregnancy-related issues and births, according to the policy. However, there is no option given for doctors to verify a child is absent because they are sick or injured, or if they need to stay home to recover and prevent spreading contagious illnesses. 'Attendance is a key factor in student achievement, and therefore, students are expected to be present each day school is in session,' the attendance policy states. 'The Lawrence County School System believes attendance is vital to one's educational experience and future financial earnings.' The new policy is also designed to address the issue of 'chronic absenteeism,' which the district defines as missing 10 percent or more time meant to be in class. Such students will also automatically fail the subjects and grades regardless of their academic results. 'We are going to take control of the attendance of our students,' Adkins said. 'You can bring all the doctor's notes you want, but it is still unexcused.' The policies follow a notable increase in diseases affecting children. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 216 children died during this past flu season — a higher number than any time since the 2009 U.S. swine flu pandemic. 2025 also saw an outbreak of measles explode into a total of 1,319 confirmed cases as of Wednesday, according to the CDC. Cases have been recorded in 40 states stretching across the country, while vaccination rates dropped in 78 percent of American counties, with an average decline of 2.67 percent to below the 95 percent herd immunity threshold to predict or limit the spread of measles. In addition, a new study in the medical journal JAMA found that the health of America's children has significantly worsened across several key indicators since 2007. A U.S. child is 15 to 20 percent more likely to have a chronic condition in 2023 than a child in 2011 with the prevalence of conditions such of depression, anxiety, sleep apnea and obesity all increasing.

Miami health care workers rally in support of immigrants, speaking out against "big, beautiful bill" cuts
Immigration, health care and President Trump's "big, beautiful bill" were on the minds of Florida's Harare Workers' Union on Saturday, where they rallied at Miami's Jackson Memorial Hospital to speak out against the policies and cuts in the bill that they feel are unjust. Eighteen-year-old Elli said her father was deported years ago, and now she is worried that her mom will be next. "If my mom ever gets deported, my family will be devastated because I'm the eldest of the daughters taking care of my five siblings," Elli said. That's why she went to a rally at Jackson Memorial, where immigration was a key topic. Roxey Nelson of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) said that immigrants are losing temporary protected status, or TPS, and that is trimming down staff in the health care sector. "I got a call that a nursing home that's like 100 beds, 80 or so workers," Nelson told CBS News Miami. "Thirty of them were laid off because of TPS." One of the main topics was the president's spending bill, which he called the "big, beautiful bill." Health care workers are also worried about the bill's cuts to Medicaid. According to the Florida Health Justice Project, Florida could lose about $4 billion annually in Medicaid funds. Union leaders are worried that it may impact services. Union leaders told CBS News Miami that Medicaid accounts for a noticeable chunk of Jackson Memorial's budget. "$325 million a year in Medicaid at Jackson," said Martha Baker of SEIU 1991. "They have about a $2 billion budget." "How are we gonna be coming to work every day thinking that we may be laid off?" asked Martha Wydra, an RN at University of Miami Hospital. CBS News Miami reached out to Jackson Memorial Hospital several times about this protest, but did not get a response. Meanwhile, the Florida Decides Healthcare organization is attempting to put Medicaid expansion on the next election ballot. "We have been collecting this whole year, and we are looking to complete the collection of petitions by December," said Mitch Emerson, the executive director of Florida Decides Healthcare. Florida Decides Healthcare cited a public opinion poll showing that 67 percent of likely voters support putting a Medicaid expansion on the ballot.

Kansas coach Bill Self released from hospital after undergoing heart procedure
Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self was released from the hospital Saturday following a procedure to insert two stents, the school announced. Self had checked into Lawrence Memorial Hospital on Thursday after experiencing 'concerning symptoms' and feeling unwell. 'I want to thank all the amazing doctors and nurses at LMH Health for the excellent care I received during my stay,' Self said in a statement. 'I feel strong and am excited to be home. Our team has had a productive summer, and I'm looking forward to recharging and preparing for the upcoming season.' Advertisement This marks the second heart-related procedure for the 62-year-old coach in just over two years. In March 2023, Self underwent a heart catheterization and had two stents placed to treat blocked arteries, causing him to miss the Big 12 and NCAA Tournaments. Kansas, a No. 1 seed that year, was eliminated in the second round by No. 8 Arkansas. At the time, Self had reported chest tightness and balance issues, prompting immediate medical attention. Self has typically been a steady presence on the Kansas sideline since taking over in 2003, missing only a handful of games. Despite the health setbacks, Self remains one of the most accomplished coaches in the sport. He signed a $53 million deal in 2023, making him the highest-paid coach in college basketball. In 2017, he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and is entering his 33rd season as a head coach. Self holds an 831-261 career record with four Final Four appearances and two national championships on his resume. The Jayhawks open the season Nov. 3 against Wisconsin-Green Bay.
