The Harford County Board of Education approved the proposed amended $57.8 million capital budget request for fiscal year 2024. The board first approved the capital budget in fall 2022.
In an information-packed board meeting that lasted over three hours, the board also heard a revamped career and technology curriculum, amendments to the plans for a new Homestead/Wakefield Elementary School, and changes for the 2022-23 calendar.
The proposed construction will replace the overcapacity three-building elementary school with a new single elementary school building on the Wakefield Campus.
