Frederick School Board approves redistricting plan after yearlong process
After a year of line drawing and parental complaints the Frederick County Board of Education approved the redistricting plan. The plan shifts students from crowded Frederick City schools to less populous areas, adds new schools slated to open 1993 to 1995, and phases in changes through 1996 97. Some residents protested community fragmentation and longer bus rides while the board noted checks and balances and the rejection of one superintendent recommendation to avoid forcing double school changes for Ballenger Heights students.

County weighs spigot for eight Mount Airy area homes
Frederick County Commissioners discussed a community spigot for eight houses near Mount Airy during a workshop. A central spigot would supply water, replacing an unsafe spring used by residents who currently rely on bottled water. Action includes contacting local officials about laying a line, while earlier plans for water and sewer fines were deemed too costly for residents. The spring may be shut to prevent contamination.
