Seasonal time change also has a major impact on workplace safety. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has found that workplace injuries increased by nearly 6% in the days following the time change. The increased risk is typically attributed to workers getting about 40 minutes less sleep, which can lead to decreased alertness and an increase in the likelihood of workplace accidents. 

St. Michaels, Navajo Nation (ARIZ) – During the March 4 Holbrook Unified School Board meeting, School Board Members voted three in favor and zero opposed on the new redistricted school board district map. The newly adopted redistricting plan was developed by the Office of Navajo Nation Human Rights Commission (“Commission”).

The new school board districts provide opportunity for Navajo citizens to elect candidates of their choice in three out of the five districts. The next steps is to develop public education materials and information on the newly elected plans.
