Frederick County educators depart for higher pay and family ties
Dozens of Frederick County Public Schools staff have left in recent months. Sharna Phillips moved to Chambersburg with a raise to join James Buchanan High School. Gail Malone left Ballenger Creek Elementary for a career in high technology after debt and family obligations. Dr. Estes Lockhart and Mark Blom also left for Howard County, trading for higher salaries and broader roles. Administrators cite family proximity, opportunities, and salaries as main factors, while downsizing in prior years limited opportunities to address issues locally.
