School board, PTA disappointed with MoCo budget

If you’ve been following Montgomery County school budget news, it wasn’t much of a shock when County Executive Ike Leggett’s budget didn’t give the schools the additional $82 million they requested. In short, Montgomery County is pretty broke.

Still, school board President Christopher Barclay said the school system has not withdrawn its petition to the state asking for a clarification on its funding laws. County Council members, saying this is a sure sign the school board is considering suing the county, had asked Barclay to withdraw the petition.
