The revised policy requires local superintendents to forward information about students charged or convicted of “reportable offenses” — certain serious offenses that happen outside school — to education officials in other school districts when the student transfers between schools. Previously, communication between different school districts was optional. As an emergency policy, it can take effect prior to public comment. Legislative approval is needed for the regulation to take…

For the 2024 election, Wicomico County has a ballot proposition called Question A. Exactly, what is question A? Most citizens are easily confused on this topic as they don’t really understand how their county government operates. To understand this ballot proposition, you must first understand how the two models of governments differ. The position of County Executive was created by a modification to the county’s charter. As a result, the first County Executive was sworn in on December of 2006 establishing two separate branches. Since then, the County Council serves as the Legislative Branch, and the County Executive serves as the Executive…

The Democrats of Maryland are super mad. Somehow, the Republicans decided to follow what the Dems have done for years and support school board candidates in the counties. I’ll say one thing for them, Democrats can throw temper tantrums that two-year-olds would be in awe of. They should be good at it. They do so every time the Republicans have mailers, political ads, etc. They fall down, beat their fists and feet into the ground, and cry, ” Oh my gosh I can’t believe those evil Republicans are using campaign mailers during campaign season!” Then they go to the post…

Please Follow us on Gab, Minds, Telegram, Rumble, GETTR, Truth Social, Twitter  A couple of weeks ago our local Moms for Liberty chapter hosted a candidate’s forum for local school candidates. We invited ALL the candidates to participate. In Maryland, school board candidates are designated as “non-partisan” even though most of them personally ascribe to one of the major parties. It’s not different in Talbot County where two incumbents are running against challengers and there is one open seat being contested between two first time candidates. We invited all of them, even the incumbents, starting in June so they could put the date of the forum on…
