Good morning, Rockville.

Montgomery County Public Schools is finishing a new high school and redrawing boundary lines to get ready for the 2027 school year — the district plans to meet future student needs with the updated facility and boundaries.

Students at Hallie Wells Middle School built Flick—an AI-powered math tutor—that won the Maryland MESA State Championship and will compete at the MESA USA National Engineering Design Competition on June 23.

Their teacher Dustin Deem and the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab supported the team.

The D.C. area remains under a drought watch even after recent heavy rain including Friday’s stormy deluge lowered the odds of needing a reservoir release from 22—36% to 10—20% according to expert Michael Nardolilli of the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin.

National forecasts predict above average rainfall by the end of August — but officials say water should still be conserved since most rain evaporates rather than refilling water bodies.

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear the challenge to Maryland's assault weapons ban—keeping the law unchanged.

Three conservative justices said they would have taken the case and one questioned if the ban fits the Constitution.

Montgomery County officials have realigned fire station staffing—moving career responders from the Hyattstown station to the new Clarksburg station starting July 1—while local firefighters fear the change may delay emergency response times.

Councilmember Marilyn Balcombe and other stakeholders have raised concerns that longer wait times could compromise safety in the region.
