| ALYSSA: On Tuesday, the MCPS Board of Education approved a change in high school graduation requirements that will reduce the number of necessary electives by a half-credit.

The new requirements will go into effect starting with the class of 2025, who are currently high school freshmen. |
| BELLA: Two weeks ago, Montgomery County began giving out COVID-19 vaccinations for 5 to 11 year olds.
