Hampstead parents have appealed the Carroll school board?s redistricting plan, following the lead of Westminster parents.

Andrew Smith, a parent of elementary school students in Hampstead, filed the appeal to the state Board of Education after the county board refused to exclude the 42 Hampstead students from redistricting. He is asking the state to do for Spring Garden Elementary in Hampstead what the county did for the Charles Carroll community when it reversed its own vote.
