Carroll schools will cut computer replacements to balance 2025 budget, McCabe says

After the Carroll County Board of Education unanimously approved its fiscal 2025 operating budget on Wednesday, board President Marsha Herbert thanked county commissioners for providing schools with $6 million more than the county is required to give.

The school system had asked the county for $10.8 million above the amount the county is required to provide to schools, but only received $6 million, leaving a deficit of about $4.8 million, Superintendent Cynthia McCabe told the school board.
