“… As part of a $600 million slash to teacher-training grants, the Education Department in February took the $21 million award that Montgomery County had planned to use to provide bonuses and training officials hoped would lure and retain teachers.

School district officials said they believe their grant was rescinded because they agreed when they applied in 2023 to adhere to the Biden administration’s expectation that they would recruit a diverse workforce.

… Blankenship and others said the county school system — located in a conservative stronghold that voted 2 to 1 for President Donald Trump — doesn’t engage in diversity, equity and inclusion practices.She was already struggling with driving 40 minutes through the sparsely populated region to work in a district where teacher turnover is high and many of her co-workers were frustrated by the lack of resources.

… The grant money the school system lost is equivalent to about half of the county’s operating budget. It helped Montgomery compete for teachers with neighboring counties by offering bonuses of up to $10,000 a year — nearly a quarter of the state-mandated starting teacher salary of $41,000.
Wade Auman, the former superintendent who applied for the Teacher and School Leader Incentive Program, said it was a no-brainer for the county to agree to recruit a diverse workforce — districts that made that promise were given extra points in the grant competition, he said.…”

There are a lot of mixed generation projects in planning or underway for the massive power supply data centers are going to need and talk of having to put large data centers in space to use constant solar power and other potential power sources to meet the anticipated demand …
 
This is why I get on my soapbox over and over criticizing media for being lame when being inept in calling out crap like JD spewed with MTP's host Kristen Welker.

She only had her prepared questions and didn't have the wherewithal to spontaneously respond to JD's bullshit responses.

Notwithstanding zoo ( who I love like a brother ) constantly chiding me for my criticism of the media being clueless about covering my campaign back in 2006, it is an interview like this that drives me batshit crazy.
