FCPS budget public hearing sees dearth of community input

After a somewhat quiet public hearing about the Frederick County Public Schools proposed fiscal 2022 budget Wednesday night, a school system spokesman confirmed Thursday night that FCPS had been unaware that approximately 30 comments by the community were submitted and not read during the hearing. Daryl Boffman, executive director of public affairs for FCPS, said the misstep was found at some point Thursday.
