- ➤ MCPS is recommending that countywide magnet programs be replaced with regional themed programs—if approved by the school board, competitive programs at Montgomery Blair and Richard Montgomery high schools will be phased out by the 2027-2028 school year. The plan divides high schools into six regions and lets current students finish their programs while new offerings are introduced. MoCo360
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ PJM warned that state policies cutting fossil fuel supply have led to a jump in capacity auction prices for 2026—from $28.92 per megawatt to $329.17 per megawatt—raising concerns that green energy plans may cause higher electricity costs. Gov. Wes Moore said his approach gives ratepayers more options even as critics warn that shutting down old plants too soon could worsen bills. WJLA
- ➤ Rockville City Council voted 5-2 on Monday to reject a rent control proposal—halting plans for rent stabilization measures this year. Developers praised the decision — while renter advocates warned it could lead to evictions and higher housing costs. MoCo360
- ➤ Rockville attorney Marilyn Pierre filed on July 11 to run for a Montgomery County Circuit Court seat in the 2026 election; this is her fifth campaign as she points to the over-incarceration of young Black men as a key issue. She criticizes the state judge vetting process (which she argues favors connections over merit) and calls for more restorative justice practices (that could reduce repeat offenses) in the courts.
