Frederick County school board adopts $1 million budget cuts
The Frederick County Board of Education approved a $1 million package reducing the superintendent Noel Farmer’s proposed FY 1992 operating budget. The changes merge two area offices, eliminate the area superintendent role, and cut five central office positions plus three maintenance roles.
