A school boundary plan for Frederick County outlines a new East County Middle at Md 144 and a TJ site with two neighborhoods of high black student concentration. It shifts Sagner and Orchard Grove attendance, reduces crowding at New Market and Ballenger Creek middle schools, and keeps eighth graders at current schools if transportation is provided.
