This week, the County Executive will discuss new school openings and why so many people are confused about the $3 billion maintenance backlog MCPS is facing. He talks about the County’s efforts to vaccinate kids for the school year and highlights Overdose Awareness Day, which is happening on Saturday, Aug. 29. His guest this week will be:
- Beka Urgessa, senior administrator for school health, Department of Health and Human Services
