Opposing Delegate Seeks Full Urbana Opening in One Year
Frederick County delegate David Brinkley proposes legislation to force Urbana High School to open with all four grades in its first year. He condemns the board plan to add one grade per year and ties state construction aid to immediate full operation. Brinkley aims for September 1997 or 1998 if needed, arguing the $30.5 million school should operate at capacity from opening.
