State Board approves $4,000 rise in pupil payments for county students
Frederick County schools will see tuition payments rise to $30 a year for elementary pupils and $50 for high schoolers who attend Carroll Meade Montgomery or Washington counties. The increase, intended to offset rising building costs and support equalized aid, follows talks in Baltimore with County Commissioner Edward F. Holter and Superintendent Pruitt. 267 county children currently attend out-of-county schools. A Baltimore report notes a separate incident: a 18-year-old black youth shot by a police officer as he fled after allegedly abandoning a stolen car.
