Montgomery County is eliminating its “compacted math” track for elementary schoolers

Montgomery County schools will feel different next year after a budget shortfall is expected to cost the district more than 400 jobs.

Parents worry about what these cuts could mean for their children, particularly those with complex needs.

In an emotional Thursday vote, the Montgomery County school board approved a roughly $3.7 billion budget that will eliminate 415 staff positions.

There are elections for four of the board's eight seats in the June 23 primary, though only two of them are competitive.

In an open letter to district leadership, high school reporters decried a memo that instructed administrators to review the final drafts of student publications.

The closest summer food site to Poolesville Elementary, for example, is more than 10 miles away — at least a 20-minute drive.

Two of the board’s eight seats were on the ballot in the June 23 primary, even though the board is technically nonpartisan. The winners advance to November’s general election.

Montgomery County residents should brace for a decidedly partisan tone ahead of November's general election for an at large seat on the school board.
