School Board Finalizes Capital Wish List

The Sun says school officials last week approved their proposed capital budget (the one that pays for building and renovating stuff). The details in the story are real sparse. But it may not matter: the spending plan will undoubtedly be revised as the county and state work through their budget process in the coming months.

The Howard County Board of Education last night unanimously approved a record $125.3 million capital budget for the coming fiscal year that school officials say represents a shift from new construction to renovation.
