Decades after their murders, two Black Mims educators and civil rights activists are on the cusp of having a historic injustice undone Tuesday when the school board considers restoring their status as Brevard County teachers.
A resolution up for discussion at Tuesday’s Brevard County School Board meeting would name Harry Moore and his wife Harriette teachers emeritus and declare that they were unjustly fired in 1946. It also provides for an elementary and secondary school curriculum in their name and an annual trip for 8th grade students to the Harry T. and Harriette V. Moore Cultural Complex, pending funding and the relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions.

CONCORD, MA Concord students and staff watched along with the rest of the world on Wednesday, as the U.S. Capitol Building was breached and desecrated by pro-Trump extremists. The protests-turned-riots led to at least four deaths, a delayed electoral count and a mountain of questions and anxiety surrounding our government.
With no answers and a day of lessons to fill, Concord educators saw an opportunity. The district will not shy away from discussing the siege of the Capitol Building, but rather use it as a way to help students understand U.S. government, which includes everything from the breadth of the Constitution to the electoral college process.

Among the many changes of 2020 will be far fewer students wearing pajamas inside out, and also fewer parents waking up early to see if their child s school is on the snow closure list.
Due to the pandemic, many schools in the DMV have moved classes online to keep students and staff safe from the spread of coronavirus.
As a result, the forecast for the region on Wednesday had only a small impact on virtual classes. We know that students are in school less than they have been in past years. There’s a great case to be made for keeping those snow days as academic days, said Cynthia Simonson, who has two children in the Montgomery County school system. There’s no question that snow days bring about a level of morale and as an excitement for the kids.”
