Building of Schools Lagging in Maryland
Maryland officials warn county governments lag three to five years behind on school construction to keep up with rising enrollments. James L. Reed of the Department of Education notes catch-up would require preserving funds for future growth, with 30 new schools under construction and 73 more planned. Overcrowded conditions persist as districts struggle to meet demand.

State aims to curb school building costs amid shortages
The plan targets Baltimore and Washington area counties where classroom shortages are most acute. Baltimore County is cited as the hardest pressed, with local governments spending about 50 million annually on construction and the state adding 7 million. Reed notes critics over cost while detailing cost-cutting steps such as removing decorative features, lowering ceilings, using low maintenance materials, and prefabricated parts to save on labor. He stresses maintaining esthetics and standards to benefit students while seeking maximum education for minimal cost.
