Frederick County considers bond size for school building plan
Frederick County commissioner Charles E Collins refuses to approve a bond larger than the 2.8 million planned in the ten year program. School Superintendent Dr John L Carnochan Jr says current funds won t cover planned projects and may require about 750 000 more next year to stay on schedule. Collins proposes funding only one year at a time while prioritizing Catoctin High and Valley Elementary. Bid results show Catoctin s estimate overrun by 866 064 and Valley s cost expected above 710 000, signaling tighter funding for the district s capital program.
