Schools' pizza plan fuels deficit fears in Frederick County
Frederick County Board of Education officials project a deficit of up to $350,000 in school food services for the year. Second quarter figures show a $2,320 daily shortfall and last year ended $331,000 in the hole. A la carte gains of $579,000 were offset by $511,000 fewer lunch sales and reduced federal aid and commodity subsidies. Pizza proved popular but did not fully fix the budget. Separately, the board approved a $65,000 change order for Spring Ridge Elementary rock removal and noted possible future rock-removal costs.
