With so many of us building our own businesses, working on side hustles, and creating new inventions, we often need our own space that also allows us to engage with other entrepreneurs. PGCSIF Advisory Board Member, Tami Mullen, built Clout from the ground up when she saw a need to provide space filled with positive affirmations and energy. Even startups like WeWork experience massive upheaval but that isn't stopping them from offering us membership perks. Perfect Office Solutions, founded by a local resident, is the new home of PGCSIF and we wanted to share our digs with you too. Check them out and let them know you're part of the PGCSIF Family!

| | With 132,667 students, Prince George's county has an attendance rate on par with the state and a graduation rate at 78.47%. Available now on the Maryland State Department of Education’s (MSDE) School Report Card website, MdReportcard.org, updated data includes 2018-2019 school assessment results, percentile rankings, star ratings, state science assessment results for elementary and middle school students, and indicators of school improvement. Maryland’s accountability system, which was required by the federal Every Student Succeeds Act, is a look at schools that is less dependent on student test scores than past rating systems. The Maryland General Assembly, in a law passed in 2017, said achievement and test scores could count for no more than 62 percent of the overall rating.
