Residents urge board to address overcrowded, outdated school buildings during budget talks
Summary
At the public hearing, residents and trustees urged the Board to direct funds to school facility needs and staff support, citing overcrowding and aging buildings.
Connie Fravel of Strasburg told the Board the schools face overcrowding and outdated buildings and spoke in favor of supporting schools and staff during FY27 budget discussions.
Several other commenters acknowledged school building needs while also pressing for library funding. Amy Voss-Devito, a library trustee, explicitly acknowledged that the schools have building needs while also saying the county should address the library’s dire need for updates and expansion. No formal funding decisions for school facilities were made at the hearing; the Board said it will act at a future meeting.
