School notes on safety and consolidations in Maryland
The Maryland Attorney General advises pedestrians walk on the left except near steep hills or sharp left curves where right side walking is advised. The State Superintendent seeks to guide school walking safety. The Board of School Commissioners transfers Miss Eien Brown to Denton High English from Ridgely High, with Miss Carolyn Coursey named as Brown’s successor. Proposals to consolidate Hickory Hill with Frederick schools gain support but finances hinder broader consolidation. Ruth Faber will transfer to another county school. Consolidation demand grows yet fiscal limits restrain expansion. Christmas vacation runs from Friday afternoon Dec 2 to Monday Jan 2. Some vacant properties have offers, with final decisions pending.
