EDUCATION NEWS

  • At Magruder High School, several groups of students did not follow directions and recorded their altercations on Friday—forcing the school to enact a hold status that lasted from 11:42 a.m. to 12:47 p.m. and prompting an investigation with possible disciplinary actions for those involved.  MoCo360

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • The Montgomery County school board approved a six-year, $2.7B capital improvements program to fix facility issues (with some projects remaining provisional until a vote on Silver Spring International Middle School) and it now goes to County Executive Marc Elrich for review, who will include this spending in a county proposal due January 15. This move comes after controversy and community concern over proposed school changes.  MoCo360
