Top issues during term (6)(Schools)
Declining school enrollment shapes facility plans
Dropping the two additions avoids construction spending the growth didn't justify; Liberty High modernization funding is in the proposed county capital budget.
School-Based Behavioral Health Services Contracts
No county cost — 100% funded by the Maryland Community Health Resources Commission.
FY27 School Budget Transfer
A $14 million ongoing ask — $6.4 million above what's in the county plan — that will shape county taxes and services for years.
School capacity constraining southern Carroll growth
Adequate public facility moratoria are delaying housing supply and tax base growth in the Freedom area.
Outdoor school safety and transparency concerns
The county previously allocated funds to keep the outdoor school operating; the program now runs at reduced scope.
School Funding Increase and Board of Education Request
3% increase built in (~$7.6 million); the school request would add another $6.4 million.
