Did the Howard school board violate its own policy with last week's budget adoption? One member thinks so.
Howard County school board member Christina Delmont-Small caused a back-and-forth discussion before the budget vote on May 27 about the unassigned fund balance, saying that using the money for recurring costs, such as staff salaries, and not having a “plan” for how to maintain those expenditures in next year’s budget is against board policy.
