Montgomery school board pushes for more capital funds
Montgomery County faces a funding squeeze as Governor Hughes adds 6.2 million for two projects, with board members urging an additional 5 million. The move leaves the district claiming 16.6 million in state reimbursements owed for prior work. Officials warn the bond bill for overcrowding relief may be slowed, while praising the added funds to ease rapid growth and provide classroom space. The county continues to plan new schools and shifts student populations to relieve Lake Seneca and accommodate Lake Germantown and South Germantown projects.
