Reed Freed From Captivity Reunites With Family In Germany
Frank Reed, the second American hostage freed in nine days, checked into a DS military hospital in Wiesbaden after arriving from Syria.

Farmer seeks county support for school funding increase
Frederick County School Superintendent Dr. Farmer urged parents to aid his push for more local funding as the county commission prepares a public hearing on the proposed budget. He requests about 74.6 million dollars for schools, a 158 percent rise over last year, while the plan allocates roughly 70 million, 4.5 million less than the school board seeks. The dispute centers on higher costs, mandated maintenance, and salary increases as officials debate how to avoid deep cuts in education. About 20 parents attended Monocacy Middle School meeting, many voicing support for Farmer’s position.
