Every penny has to be counted when the Frederick County Board of Education sits down to approve a budget. Every spending item has to be weighed to see its relevance to the mission of the school system, which is to provide the best education possible to the children of Frederick County.

Presented with a cost estimate from its staff of more than $140,000, the board said no. We understand the thinking, but we still believe it was not the correct decision.
