Candidate questions plan to ease school overcrowding

A candidate for the Baltimore County Council?s Perry Hall district says students of Chapel Hill Elementary are the victims of his opponent?s plan to tackle overcrowding at the school: busing them elsewhere.

Republican candidate Wayne Skinner called Council Member Vince Gardina?s support of an enrollment cap at Chapel Hill and plan to bus students to neighboring schools an “election-year stunt.” He said parents at a Perry Hall festival this weekend told him they are furious their children, under the proposal, might be split between two schools.
