Outagamie County Sheriff's Office prepares to take on multiple responsibilities during NFL Draft
APPLETON, Wis. (WFRV) – Even though the NFL Draft is a county over, the Outagamie County Sheriff's Office will still play multiple roles in protecting visitors and fans in town for the event. 'Between the comm center and patrol, that's where we're going to see the biggest increase in staffing,' Capt. Nathan Borman of the Outagamie County Sheriff's Office. 'We're increasing staffing on patrol, we're increasing staffing in our communication center and in our jail just in case. We don't want any surprises to come up, so we have available resources if needed.' One of the most critical responsibilities the Outagamie County Sheriff's Office has is fielding surplus calls from the Brown County Communication, in the event that that office receives more than it can handle. Green Bay airport prepares for influx of travelers ahead of 2025 NFL Draft 'Our communication center is a backup to Brown County,' Borman said. 'If Brown County were to have an influx of calls where they were overflowing with calls, those would spill over to us. We want to have the staffing here and available should that happen.' The Outagamie County Communication Center just opened at the beginning of February, expanding the workspaces for dispatchers from 8 to 14. 'This space gives us the ability to really expand out our staff, should we have an event where there's a higher demand on our 911 system, we have the open spots and availability to staff it,' Borman said. During the draft, or any severe emergency event, dispatchers are able to be called in from off the clock when needed. 'We have a messaging system, we can send it out to all the dispatchers and say 'Hey, we need you,'' Borman said. 'And whoever's available comes in, and they're really good about it, it's amazing.' Packers to host dive bar-themed 'Draft Haus' at 2025 NFL Draft Even though the bulk of visitors will be staying in Brown County, Borman says a sizable portion will be staying in or at least spending time in Outagamie County. He does not believe the impacts of that are far from out of the ordinary. 'Certainly we expect an increase of visitors to the Fox Valley area,' Borman said. 'Certainly we don't see any problems related to this, we're accustomed to having large events such as Oktoberfest and other things without issue.' Deputies will target patrols for specific areas they anticipate to be a hotbed for visitors. 'Mostly on the 41 corridor, but also visitors to our downtown areas, our nightlife areas, also the airport's expecting to see an increase in traffic flow,' Borman said.'So we're preparing for all those inevitable elements we'll deal with.' 'All levels of response': Hospitals preparing for any kind of emergency during NFL Draft Outagamie County deputies will also have a presence at the draft campus in Brown County in the form of the bomb squad. 'We are part of the joint bomb squad, so some of our bomb technicians will be there, as is normal for any large-scale event in Brown County, we typically have staff there to assist,' Borman said. Like other agencies, including Ashwaubenon Public Safety, the Outagamie County Sheriff's Office has had to limit its staff's time off. 'We have capped our time off, so officers that weren't already going to be off, they won't have off at this point,' Borman said. 'But that really isn't too problematic for our staff, it's a short period of time.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Empowering Neurodivergent Students: Swoon Learning Announces 2025 Focus on Inclusive Education
Los Angeles, California--(Newsfile Corp. - January 29, 2025) - Swoon Learning, a technology-driven academic coaching platform, has announced that enrolling and supporting neurodivergent students will be its primary focus for 2025. This strategic shift follows the company's successful implementation of its unique, technology-driven academic coaching methods with a diverse cohort of students, including neurodivergent learners. This year, the top priority of the company will be to grow both its cohort of neurodivergent learners as well as further optimize its neurodivergent-specific tutoring methods. Focusing on Neurodivergence in Education Swoon Learning's 2025 initiative aims to expand its tailored support for neurodivergent students, addressing the increasing need for empathetic, intentional academic coaching. According to Education Week, one in five children in the U.S. are neurodivergent, while the University of Wisconsin-Madison estimates that 10-30% of higher education students fall into this category. Swoon Learning's executive-function-focused coaching methodology is uniquely positioned to empower this demographic. "A lot of gifted students are neurodivergent, and in some ways, their neurodivergence is their superpower—they just need the right coaching and support," said Cory Borman, Swoon Learning's co-founder and Chief Product Officer. "Expanding into this population is our primary focus for 2025 because they deserve tailored, empathetic assistance, and we're here to provide it." Cory Borman, co-founder of Swoon LearningTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Proven Methods for Academic Success Swoon Learning's academic coaching combines technology and personalized strategies to support students in developing critical executive functions, including planning, organization, and emotional regulation. Key features of the platform include: Planning: Shared access to student and coach calendars fosters accountability and independence, allowing students to book sessions as needed. Organization: The proprietary Workboard, a Kanban-style project management tool, helps students break down tasks into manageable sub-tasks, improving their ability to tackle complex academic objectives. Emotional Regulation: Coaches utilize tools like Zoom and Okiocam document cameras to monitor student behavior and emotions, enabling timely interventions and providing real-time insights into learning challenges. Leadership Rooted in Personal Experience Borman, who has openly shared his experiences with ADHD, emphasized the importance of addressing the unique needs of neurodivergent learners. "Our focus on executive functions as the key to academic performance positions our coaches to help neurodivergent students thrive," he explained. Co-founder and CEO Carla Bayot brings her expertise as a former hardware engineer at Apple, Microsoft, and Cisco, alongside her experience as an early adopter of remote learning technologies. Her vision and leadership have driven Swoon Learning's innovative approach to academic coaching, which began with a focus on student-athletes and has since expanded to serve a broader student population. Carla Bayot, co-founder and CEO of Swoon LearningTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Expanding Enrollment and Recruiting Talent Swoon Learning is currently staffed with academic coaches from top universities, including UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC Irvine and UC San Diego, with additional representation from states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New York. The platform is open to middle and high school students across all disciplines and is actively recruiting new coaches nationwide. As Swoon Learning looks to 2025, its mission is clear: to become a leading resource for neurodivergent students seeking academic success through personalized, technology-driven coaching.
