CLINTON, MI – Police are seeking assistance from the public in locating a mentally ill man who left his Clinton home early Tuesday morning and is a danger to himself, police say.

CANTON It’s official: Students in the Canton City School District will kick off 2021 learning from home.
The Canton City school board on Monday approved the district’s second-semester learning plan, which includes moving all students to remote learning for the two weeks following winter break.
The students who have chosen in-person classes will return to school on Jan. 19, following the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. The board previously discussed the changes for the second semester, but had not yet formally approved the plan.
Superintendent Jeff Talbert, who attended Monday’s board meeting virtually, said moving online for two weeks gives the district enough time to see who may have contracted COVID-19 during the break, as they should begin to display symptoms by then and can remain at home until medically cleared.
