If You’re a Fan of the 80’s, the Heat Is On This Week
Summer does not officially begin until June 20 but folks in the DMV will get a sneak preview this week.
Ready or not, temperatures will climb into the 8o’s Tuesday through Thursday.
Quite a departure from late last week when temps dipped into the 30’s.
D.C.-area forecast: Spring sunshine with summer warmth the next few days https://t.co/4VINa7FoZi
The 80s are back so get out your suspenders, and do your hair BIG. Today will be the first of 3 consecutive days with highs in the 80s so what looks good today will look even better tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/fVd5KQhxBh
Adkins announced April 16 he intends to resign at the end of his contract, which is up June 30.
School board members met Tuesday afternoon to discuss next steps, grappling with hot-button issues like whether Adkins could finish out his remaining 64 days and how to move forward with a timeline for replacing him.
Board members stepped slowly through the conversation, taking consensus votes with a sign of a thumbs-up, thumbs-down or a live-with-it sideways thumb vote to signify their positions. Adkins was not present for the discussion.
Anyone who takes on the district’s top role, regardless of whether they are considered a short- or long-term hire, would need to be sworn in and act as a superintendent. Loosely used words like “acting” or “interim” do not exist, and often board members referred to the temporary appointment in air quotes during the discussion.

GREENSBORO, N.C. Surprise medical bills are nothing new, and Congress has finally taken some action to help. There’s one notable exception that can still end up costing unsuspecting patients hundreds even thousands of dollars.
Last March a writer for Consumer Reports found herself in a serious health emergency. She had a fever and a cough, and after going to her local ER was rushed to a larger hospital by ambulance.
Her fever spiked to 103° F. While in the emergency room, she suddenly became unable to breathe. She was put on a ventilator for 10 days and spent a few weeks in an intensive care unit, where she slowly recovered from the flu and pneumonia.
