Residents urge more money for schools

Anne Arundel residents were adamant about what is missing from the proposed operating and capital budgets: more money for teachers, special education and new classrooms.

“It is simply unacceptable that as a county we cannot find the funding, no matter how slow the economy is, to fund the best education we can for our children,” said Nicole Roberts, Parent-Teacher Organization president of Arnold Elementary School, of the proposed $50 million cut to the school system?s funding.
