Opposition to Consolidating Clarke and Frederick School Districts
The letter urges the state board of education to avoid merging Clarke county with Frederick and Winchester, arguing such consolidation would deprive the area of Maurice M.

It notes Clarke’s desire to keep its school identity, cites lack of railroad links, and suggests Clarke be paired with Warren instead if consolidation is necessary to balance workload and preserve quality.
