The Joint Meeting between the Carroll County Board of Education and County Commissioners on September 25, 2025, focused on critical discussions regarding school operations and enrollment projections. Key concerns were raised about safety issues related to increased traffic from cars and buses as schools continue to operate.

During the meeting, Mr. Henderson presented enrollment projection charts, highlighting changes in student numbers. The data indicated a shift in trends since the previous year.
