Diane Haugen of Woodsboro argues Frederick County has too many central office staff compared to Carroll County citing 1982-83 State Board figures. She faults Dr. Berger for misstatements on administrator roles and area divisions, estimating about 20 positions could be cut to redeploy funds for 49 teachers, and asserts parental concerns were not effectively addressed by administrators.
