📰 News we're reading

• Prince William County teachers outraged about board's vote to extend workday (wjla.com) — Prince William County teachers, including one from Woodbridge High School, are pushing back after the school board narrowly voted to extend the teacher workday by 30 minutes starting in 2026–27 without additional pay spelled out. Educators say the change will worsen burnout and disrupt family care schedules, while board leaders argue it aligns with neighboring districts and expect compensation issues to surface in future union talks.
