As of October 1, 2025, the federal government officially shut down after Congress failed to pass a continuing resolution (CR) before FY 2025 funding expired at midnight. The House narrowly passed a bill to extend funding through November 21, but the Senate rejected it, along with a Democratic proposal to extend funding until October 31 and renew expiring health care subsidies.
It is with heavy hearts that we inform you of the passing of Dr. Robert "Bob" Brooks, who died peacefully on Sunday, July 20, 2025. Dr. Brooks was one of MSA's foundational pillars and a tireless champion of magnet schools throughout his remarkable career.
