Howard County's convictions are being tested by a proposal that seeks to redistribute some 7,400 of the school system’s 58,000 children to different schools in part to address socioeconomic segregation that leaves children from poor families concentrated in certain schools.
Howard County’s government operates a school system, a police department with nearly 500 sworn officers, a fire department, a water and sewer system, a landfill and six branch libraries.
The Howard County Council approved its $2.18 billion operating and capital budgets for fiscal 2022 Wednesday evening, giving an additional $13.345 million to the school system than initially proposed and making no cuts.
More than 250 people gathered in the parking lot of the East Columbia Branch library Friday afternoon to rally in support of fully funding the renovation of the East Columbia 50+ Center that has been proposed in the fiscal 2022 capital budget.
