Though the loose timeline for the eventual renovation of Snow Hill
High School (SHHS) remains unaltered, one Worcester County Commissioner
voted against this year’s budget because it didn’t include any new
funding set aside for the project.
“I am very disappointed that Snow Hill High School wasn’t included …
For the second time in 14 years, I’m not voting for [the budget],” said
Commissioner Virgil Shockley Tuesday.
The budget eventually did pass 5-2 despite Shockley’s opposition,
though he claims to be flabbergasted as to how funding that would allow
the county to go to the bond market this year did not make it into the
plan.
“This should have been a very simple request,” he said.
Shockley explained that he wasn’t seeking full funding for the more
than $40 million SHHS renovation project, but instead only wanted enough
money designated so that the county would be able to go to the bond
market
to secure funding for the project if it looked like bond interest
rates were about to jump.

to bad they don't live in wicomico county, money is no object.
If money is not a problem in Wicomico county, why are so many of their schools lacking air conditioning?
