Teachers, union members, and community supporters were out in force Wednesday night at a Queen Anne’s County School District Board of Education meeting to protest a proposed budget that could lead to furloughs and layoffs of service staff. WBOC reports the budget proposal aims to address a nearly $2 million shortfall, but many argue that the cuts would have a detrimental impact on the district. Queen Anne’s County Education Association President Cecilia Mitchel warned that the proposed cuts would significantly harm the district’s ability to provide quality education.
