In Port Huron, the St. Clair County Board voted 5-2 Thursday to end its agreement with the Port Huron Area School District to run the Teen Health Clinic at Port Huron High. County leaders say the move follows concerns over oversight and inappropriate materials discovered during a recent review. The clinic recently reopened after inspection and will keep serving students for now, but control could shift to a local health provider before the current grant ends ithis year. District officials say they’ll keep the clinic open for area teens.

Forty-year-old Jennifer Goodall is charged with open murder after police say she shot 23-year-old Chase Hoyt during a domestic dispute at their 10th Avenue home last fall. Responders couldn’t save Hoyt at the scene. Goodall was heard admitting to the shooting in a 911 call. Her trial, once set for March 3, is now scheduled for August 4, with a plea hearing in late July. The delay allows time for state police to finish a blood pattern analysis critical to the case.
