📰 News we're reading

• Superintendent pushes for closure of county's only charter school (thebanner.com) — Montgomery County’s superintendent is urging the school board to revoke the charter of Mecca Business Learning Institute, potentially derailing its planned move into a permanent Germantown campus after winter break. He cites serious special education failures, privacy violations, and staffing and safety concerns, while the school’s enrollment has plunged and key operational requirements for the Germantown site remain incomplete.
