Frederick County commissioners and planning staff clashed with PTA members over growth limits as the school system faced a dire funding forecast for 1996. Harold Keller Jr. warned that only 2.15 million of 16 million in new funds might arrive from the state, while a proposed county increase could be blocked by Annapolis.
