Frederick County Plans for Consolidated High School Blocked
Frederick county plans for a consolidated high school are stalled after a court decision refused to release retirement funds for construction loans. Superintendent Leslie D. Kline says about 5 million dollars stayed in the State Literary Fund, delaying bids on a 1 million dollar project west of the county seat. The board may seek state aid or a bond issue, with Clarke county already moving toward a bond election. The board also recommended a state sales tax to fund construction.
