Frederick County School Board approved a proposed budget totaling more than 9.1 million for the 1975 76 fiscal year and must gain final county approval.

The total county budget exceeds 13 million and a public hearing is set for May 28. The board reported at least 436 incidents of illegal passing of school buses this year, mainly on Rt 11 and Rt 522. A safety committee from Stonewall PTA will study the issue. A May 20 dinner at Carpers Valley Country Club will honor three longtime administrators retiring.
