Delmar officials hear the case for funding schools, sidewalks and crossing guards

Dr. David Ring, school superintendent, attended the most recent Delmar (Md.) meeting to make the case for a referendum on school improvements and an operational budget increase. In the shadow of the then-impending referendum vote, much of the conversation was diverted to that topic.

Ring did invite the board as well as members of the community to attend the informational meeting beginning 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 24 in the school district offices. The two question referendum will be put to a vote at a special election 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 10 in the district office board room.

The commissioners asked Ring about the possibility of adding an additional crossing guard somewhere along State Street to try and better contend with the number of students who cross at various places along the road.
