Our Elementary School Leaders came together to represent MCPS at the Maryland Association of Elementary School Principals (MAESP) Connected School Leader Conference on April 17,2026.
Workers across the nation cheered as the Democratic-run U.S. House voted to raise the U.S. minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025.
The 231–199 vote, virtually along party lines, presages a tougher struggle in the GOP-run Senate, where Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is completely hostile to raising the wage—or supporting any other progressive legislation the House sends him.
