Final pleas for more CIP funding push from parents
Frederick County leaders face a crowded budget hearing as about 50 residents pressed for increased CIP funds for school construction. Despite a tentative $2.9 million boost to an $11.5 million state allocation, parents decried cuts including planning money for Kemp Town Middle and expansions at Rock Creek Center, Brunswick, and Linganore high schools. Board members warned growth may outpace a year’s delay, backing reinstatement of cuts to the five projects and urging the full school board requested $82 million.
