Overcrowding solutions sought by Baltimore County Public Schools

The first day of school is less than two months away for many students, and some parents worry that classrooms might be too crowded What do school administrators plan to do about those concerns? They’re reaching out to parents for help. Baltimore County Public Schools doesn’t have enough seats for more than 1,500 high school students so administrators are asking parents what they think is the best way to fix the problem. It starts with this online survey. The questionnaire asks parents for their thoughts on building new schools — or expanding current ones – and how much should they spend. But it also asks if redistricting would be a better option. The survey is available online until the July 22. Baltimore County Public Schools parents also can give administrators their thoughts in person. The first of several public input meetings this month is tonight at 7 right at George Washington Carver High School.
