Berger urges 35 million in Bok budget cuts
School superintendent Stuart Berger proposed trimming 35 million from next year’s Bok budget amid strained talks with the Frederick County Teachers Association. Key cuts include afternoon kindergarten transportation, retired employee hospitalization, outdoor education, swimming, driver education, and reduced instructional materials and maintenance. He also urged lowering salary increases for all school board staff from 8 to 6 percent, arguing the county commissioners’ 4 million shortfall in education funds plus expected state aid creates a 3.5 million gap.
