RadioOnFire.com - It is a packed hearing today at the Maryland State Board of Education meeting as Carroll County residents try to reverse a decision to close three schools.
North Carroll High, New Windsor Middle and Charles Carroll Elementary Schools are due to close on Friday, the result of a decision by the school board in Carroll County to deal with declining enrollment.
North Carroll High, New Windsor Middle and Charles Carroll Elementary Schools are due to close on Friday, the result of a decision by the school board in Carroll County to deal with declining enrollment.
Residents packed this morning's meeting of the State Board of Education to appeal the decision, citing a lack of transparency, and one resident raised the possibility the moves were illegal.
The attorney for the school system defended the moves.
The State Board of Education has not made a decision on the appeal. A spokesman says it could be considered in a closed door session at the lunch break of today's meeting, but that would be rare.
The Board does have the power to delay the closing, while it considers the appeal.
