School board asks for more social workers, counselors

The county Board of Education voted 9 to 2 on Tuesday night to ask the county to fund an additional 37 positions in next year's operating budget, most of which are for additional social workers and guidance counselors. The proposed additions are estimated o cost more than $3.5 million, and if funded by County Executive Kevin Kamenetz, would increase the proposed $1.6 billion operating budget prepared by school Superintendent Dallas Dance by less than half of one percent.
