The Montgomery County school system has found an extra $22 million in funding from Maryland and less-than-expected health care costs, prompting Superintendent Joshua Starr to reduce his budget request to the county.

Starr has shrunk his $2.2 billion request by $6.2 million, which is still $3.8 million more than the amount the county government must give the schools under Maryland law.
