Baltimore County Schools recommends closing Campfield Early Learning Center; public hearing set

The Board of Education will host a public hearing on the closure at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 23 at Pikesville High School and make its decision Sept. 12. The early learning center is recommended for closure because of students being routed to other schools. As part of capital improvement in the school system, 1,200 more seats are being added to elementary schools in the Northwest area, according to Pete Dixit, the system’s executive director of facilities management and strategic planning, and Paul Taylor, director of strategic planning.
