THE TREND: School referendums fail; college hockey's future; massive tip for triplets' grandma; Common Core out; UND alum at the Olympics

Thompson school expansion fails by slimmest of margins in Tuesday vote
A school bond referendum in Thompson, N.D., failed on Tuesday by the slimmest of margins. The majority of voters supported an $11 million expansion project but the initiative failed to reach a super majority. According to the Thompson Public School Facebook page this morning, 582 people favored the project and 399 voters cast ballots against it.
