Time is money - big money.
Apparently it's time to change the clocks at a handful of county public schools. The price? A mere $474,000, including $60,000 to get new clocks at Severna Park High School.
At less than a half-million dollars, it's not much in the grand scheme of public spending. The construction budget for next year is proposed at $204.8 million.
But the clock expense - much of which is actually part of the schools' long-range wish list and not yet a planned purchase - would be enough to buy a four-bedroom, 1,700-square-foot historic home near downtown Annapolis.

Can't they pick up clocks at K-Mart or Wal*Mart? They're only a few bucks not hundreds of thousands. Think people!!!
ReplyDeleteWe can't afford to pay teachers and are laying them off but we're buying clocks? Really?!
