Commissioners put people before projects
The Frederick County Board of Education faces a $1.4 million cut this year as part of a $5 million reduction from the state's withdrawal of Social Security contributions to teachers and librarians. The Board of County Commissioners voted to avoid a one day furlough, preserve tuition reimbursements and health rebates, and defer $700,000 for Windsor Knolls Middle School equipment until fiscal 1994. If revenue improves, about $400,000 may be returned to the school board to equip Windsor Knolls.
