School officials push for three level ability grouping
School officials recommended changes to middle and high school ability groupings from four levels to three. Board members urged earlier implementation than 1991-92, citing concerns by Patricia Mangiafico and Anthony Gough about past regrouping harms.

Frederick Schools to Start Death by Own Action Prevention
The Frederick school board accepted a 5000 grant from the Maryland State Department of Education to launch a youth death by own action prevention program. Estes Lockhart said staff will receive training to recognize signs of severe mood issues and form intervention groups in each school to avert tragedies and cope with outcomes. The plan notes concerns of imitative behavior among teens and uses a low key phrasing in describing individual attempts.
