SNOW HILL -- With schools opening their doors next week and options
running out, the Worcester County Board of Education was forced to seek
approval for some last-minute inter-budget transfers that will allow
schools to continue to fund popular “After School Academies” (ASA),
several of which watched grants dry up last month.
Though loathe to pull money from other parts of the school board’s
budget, the County Commissioners eventually agreed to approve the
transfers, which totaled $270,055 and should fund the academies through
January, at which point the board will likely have some more tough
decisions to make.
“Parents strongly support these programs,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jerry Wilson.
