The urgency with which the impact fee decision was made and the absence of a comprehensive long-term plan for funding schools have sparked growing concern among residents and stakeholders. Many critics argue that a thorough study is not to be avoided; instead, it is necessary to understand how revenue from the impact fee can be maximized and whether it will be sufficient to address the county’s revenue shortfall.|The fee structure, ranging from $3,000 for single-family homes to $3,500 for townhomes, $1,125 for multi-family dwellings, and $1,500 for mobile homes, is predicted to generate marginal revenue, particularly with projections of new residential development declining due to inflation and interest rates.

Warning: Sexually explicit material is referenced in this article. 

After decades of school officials looking for ways to entice parents to be more involved in their children’s education, Carroll County Public Schools and a group of concerned moms may have found the secret to working together to bring academic excellence and common sense back to public education.|Since May of this year, Jessica Garland, a local mom and Vice Chair for the Carroll County chapter of Moms for Liberty, led a small group of concerned moms in undertaking a daunting task to uncover several dozen books from school libraries containing vulgar and sexually explicit content.  The age-inappropriate materials have been submitted for reconsideration, where a committee of parents, teachers, media specialists and students will determine the fate of the books.
