Extended school day proposal in Montgomery County
The Montgomery County Council leader backs a longer school day to boost self learning through research and homework. Proponents cite 21 percent latchkey children and cost estimates of about 312000 dollars per extra hour, 2.5 million per added day, and 300 to 400 dollars per pupil yearly for enrichment. Initiatives begin with a February 28 town meeting at Watkins Mill High School, with many sessions planned through March 28 and initial decisions possible by fall.

Service to honor rail crash victims
An ecumenical memorial will be held at the Brunswick train station on Saturday at 1 p.m. to honor 11 people killed in the MARC and Amtrak collision in Silver Spring. Father Lawrence Gesy will lead, with services moved to the city park building if rain. The event unites Brunswick churches as residents and parishioners, many train workers, seek healing.
