SUMMARY: Schools are facing financial struggles after the U.S. Department of Education declined to reimburse COVID-19 relief funds, impacting programs designed to address pandemic-related learning loss. These funds were allocated for initiatives like tutoring, teacher hiring, and school upgrades. Maryland leaders were shocked to learn the government would not reimburse some of these expenditures, which could leave schools without up to $418 million. A study revealed U.S. students are behind in reading and math. Maryland officials are halting further spending while considering legal action, and DC is reviewing the impact on federal grants. Schools may apply for extensions with proof of need.

School officials around the country are figuring out how to pay their bills after the Department of Education announced it won’t pay out hundreds of millions of dollars in promised COVID-19 relief funds. News4’s Aimee Cho reports.

SUMMARY: On September 11, 2025, Chief Meteorologist Tim Pandages reported on Hurricane Hub Live about tropical developments in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific. In the Atlantic, a low-chance area of interest near the Cabo Verde Islands may become Tropical Storm Gabrielle but requires favorable conditions. Recent tropical waves have struggled due to stable atmospheric conditions. Models show possible development east of the Leeward Islands with a likely recurving path away from Bermuda. In the eastern Pacific, Tropical Depression 13E has formed, expected to become Hurricane Mario, the season’s 8th hurricane. The Atlantic has had only one hurricane so far, Major Hurricane Aaron. Activity is expected to increase into October.

The newly formed area of interest could become Invest 92-L off the coast of Africa. Find out about that and more during tonight’s episode of Hurricane Hub LIVE! Livestream from Thursday, September 11, 2025.

Congressional measure honors Angelina Resendiz, aims to help future servicemembers

SUMMARY: Texas Congressman Vicente Gonzalez has proposed legislation honoring seaman Angelina Resendiz, aiming to improve military accountability for missing servicemembers. Resendiz was reported as absent without leave (AWOL) more than a week before her death, prompting calls for clearer reporting on armed forces members found deceased under similar circumstances in the past decade. The amendment requires the Secretary of Defense to provide Congress with comprehensive reports on such cases, ensuring the military properly distinguishes between AWOL and duty status whereabouts unknown. Advocates argue this will enhance safety and accountability in the armed forces. A sailor is currently in pretrial confinement linked to Resendiz’s death, with a hearing scheduled for September 18 in Norfolk.
