		<description><![CDATA[UPDATED A new state “report card” on the quality of local schools gave top rankings to just three Cecil County elementary schools—Calvert, Charlestown and Kenmore—while most middle and high schools scored the middle rank, with three stars on a five-star rating scale. The new state system is designed to broaden measures of school quality to reach beyond just test scores, which in the past have been criticized as too one-dimensional to reflect the full range of student achievement. Dr. Jeffrey Lawson, the new superintendent of Cecil County Public Schools (CCPS), told the Cecil County Council at a Tuesday morning (12/11/2018) worksession in Elkton, that “We’re pleased, generally speaking” and “There are not a lot of surprises” in the state report card on local schools. Lawson acknowledged that low scores on the state-mandated PARCC (“Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers”) test had been a problem on past state evaluations of local schools. “PARCC is a very difficult test,” he said. The state is shifting to a new test next year, so future ratings will not include the troublesome PARCC performance results. The new assessment system, which assigns ratings for each school in the state from one star to [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the nation mourns the loss of 17 students recently in the Parkland, FL school shootings, Cecil County schools and law enforcement officials held a public briefing Monday evening (3/26/2018) to detail longstanding, and new, initiatives designed to protect students in county schools. But as policy and political debates rage nationally and on local social media, there was just a handful of county parents who bothered to show up to listen to what steps are being taken here. The worksession of the county Board of Education in Elkton had been promoted on some Facebook posts before the event and on the Cecil County Public Schools (CCPS) website. Many local social media sites have been abuzz with political debates about guns and whether calls, by the Parkland students and others who marched en masse on Washington last weekend, for gun reform legislation would threaten gunowners’ rights. School violence hit Maryland recently, when a young shooter attacked two students in St. Mary’s County but was confronted by an armed school resource officer. As the investigation continues, it is still uncertain if the shooter killed himself or died as a result of shots fired by the officer. That incident, as well as the [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[R. Christopher Loller, a member of the Cecil County Board of Education from the southern end of the county, has resigned his seat on the elected board. Gov. Martin O’Malley will appoint his replacement. Loller tendered his resignation letter Monday night, citing his decision to re-locate out of the county closer to his employment with JP Morgan Chase in Newark, DE, according to a statement issued Tuesday by the county schools. His resignation will be effective July 12. Loller is a 2003 graduate of Bohemia Manor High School in Chesapeake City and received a degree in finance from the University of Delaware. He also received a master’s degree from Wilmington University in 2009. Elected to the school board in 2008 in a non-partisan election, Loller—whose family is well known in the southern Cecil area—was seen as a voice of younger residents of the county and a potential role model for students, given his educational attainments. He defeated candidates without college degrees. In announcing his resignation, Loller said he felt “fortunate” to have worked with fellow board members and the “dedicated faculty and staff of our school system.” “He has been a true advocate for the children of this school system,” [&#8230;]]]></description>
