When she served as County Executive of Prince George\u2019s County, Senator Alsobrooks worked with former PGCPS CEO Dr. Monica Goldson to create a Public Private Partnership (P3) school construction model that they worked to pass through the Maryland General Assembly. Under the continued guidance and leadership of the Progressive Education Partners (PEP), county students will see a total of 14 new P3 schools in 6 years \u2013 18 schools in all including traditional school construction.\n\nSenator Alsobrooks released the following statement following the groundbreaking:\n\n\u201cOur communities can tell what you value by where you invest your resources. As County Executive, I learned Prince George\u2019s County faced an $8.5 billion school construction backlog. The truth is \u2013 it\u2019s expensive to build and maintain schools. Coming up with a plan would take vision. It would require a willingness to act boldly because the need was immediate. And because these kinds of projects take a lot of time \u2013 even without unexpected challenges like a global pandemic \u2013 making it to this point would take patience and a commitment to the process even when success wasn\u2019t immediately visible. This was a bold move \u2013 an innovative public-private model that had never before been done at this level for any school system. I am so proud of this work and know we need to continue working together, in innovative ways, to deliver for our children. This is a model that worked and should be used across the nation.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-07-10T08:20:04Z", "2026-07-10T08:21:18Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.alsobrooks.senate.gov/news/press-releases/alsobrooks-breaks-ground-on-new-springhill-lake-elementary-school-built-through-p3-she-spearheaded/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5104080084711313, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
