WHAT'S CHANGED? In 2019, Anne Arundel County special needs student Bowen Levy died. Since then, what's changed to make students with disabilities safer? It appears Anne Arundel still uses the same approach to care for special needs students. Link: https://t.co/QwiUROK9Ld

NEEDED HISTORY: It's been 10 years since my first book, Capital Murder, was released. AND Harrisburg, PA is still the ONLY capital city in U.S. history to file for bankruptcy. What did Harrisburg do wrong? How did it bankrupt itself? Get a copy, here. https://t.co/8sLIXy67G0

WHAT WILL HAPPEN in 2025? Maryland is close to a population decline. Here’s the U.S. Census numbers since 2020. After massive growth in previous decades, Maryland’s is close to a year-to-year drop. ‘20: 6,177,224 ‘21: 6,179,403 ‘22: 6,192,440 ‘23: 6,217,062 ‘24: 6,263,220

QUESTION: Should devices that save people from choking be installed in Maryland schools? After seeing a recent @FOXBaltimore report, one advocate is pushing to change state law. The devices cost about $70. Is that a worthy investment? Link for more: https://t.co/IuArirw6Qq

REALITY I recently spoke with a small business owner in Annapolis who's looking to move portions of her business out of state to avoid Maryland's new taxes. She takes no pride in relocating. She feels it's necessary to compete & survive. How many companies will do the same?

EDUCATION $$$ Is the Blueprint for Maryland's Future workable in its current form? One state senator who accurately predicted the Blueprint would be adjusted this year says many more changes are to come - it's too expensive/restrictive. Link for more: https://t.co/gu8yoc5vf3

Disciplined by a computer - no more. A Maryland school drops AI cheating accusations against a student. Now, the family is calling for districts to adopt specific AI policies for students to follow.

Tara Davis' daughter was accused, by her Anne Arundel County school, of using AI to cheat on an assignment. Now, her daughter’s name has been cleared by AACPS. But this mom is pushing for the school system to have an AI policy in place, so no other family has to go through the https://t.co/8NYqpYdvFJ

Just got back from St. Louis (1st time). Nice town. I walked about 3 miles of the city and it was clean, felt safe, walkable. Appealing architecture. Nice green space. For some reason, I had grown up with a less favorable view of St. Louis. Anyone else have a similar experience? https://t.co/k0FLisK2tB

AI update: A Maryland student accused of using AI to cheat on an assignment last year, was just cleared by Anne Arundel County Schools. The “Academic Integrity” charge against her was dropped. Project Baltimore followed this story for a year. Link: https://t.co/PSZJXdvRFM

Are you surprised? WalletHub released a list of the BEST/WORST places to raise a family. There are 182 places on the list. Guess where Baltimore is ranked...... 176. Baltimore is slightly ahead of Birmingham, AL. Fair ranking? The list: https://t.co/earXNUJA9v

Why not answer the question? Taxpayers deserve to know the truth. This student was suspended and BCPS had to pay up as a result. Taxpayers lost!

Project Baltimore @Project_Bmore

Project Baltimore asked Baltimore County Schools Superintendent Dr. Myriam Rogers, at a recent press conference, who, if anyone, is being held accountable for improperly suspending Parker Jensen. A question that went unanswered. Click to watch the full interaction. @chrispapst https://t.co/MHd4oz11V0

HE GOT PAID: Parker Jensen, a Marine hopeful, has settled his lawsuit with Baltimore County Schools. The senior was suspended while trying to get American flags placed in every Towson High classroom. Jensen said settlement, “Fair for both parties.” Link https://t.co/ddr0pg5Xbj

PREDICTION: Maryland’s population growth has STALLED. Over many decades, the state grew significantly (U.S. Census). This decade, Maryland’s on pace for the slowest growth - perhaps ever. Any ideas why? 1970: 26% 1980: 7% 1990: 13% 2000: 10% 2010: 9% 2020: 7% 2024: 1%

I WONDER: Maryland’s Governor continues to claim he gave 94% of Marylanders a tax break this year while generating $1.6 BILLION in new revenues. If he’s correct, that’s an impressive financial achievement. Will other states follow Wes Moore’s lead and do the same?

SETTLED: This Marine hopeful has settled his lawsuit with Baltimore County Schools. Parker Jensen was suspended while trying to get American flags placed in every Towson High classroom. Details coming Monday.

Project Baltimore @Project_Bmore

Parker Jensen, a Towson High School Senior, and marine hopeful, was suspended by Baltimore County Public Schools after trying to ask about missing American flags from his classrooms. He then filed a lawsuit against BCPS for being wrongfully suspended, and now tells Project https://t.co/KTtixxqxm1
