On February 20, 2024, the Worcester County Board of Education voted on a $100+ million dollar annual budget. Before the vote was cast, board member Katie Addis (District 6) was concerned that the board only had a condensed, summarized version of the budget without the ability to fully analyze and vet the budget in order to make an informed decision.
Todd Ferrante, Board President (District 7) interjected with dominance by saying: “we did make cuts last year.” Addis fired back, agreeing that cuts were made because the board was never given an in-depth budget and was given bare minimum in the last hour. They had to TRUST what the Executive Team was giving them were the best cuts to be made. Addis remained optimistic that the next year’s budget would be handled more responsibly by the board. Here we are today, with the other board members protecting the status quo.
A couple of administrators attempted to interfere, but two board members William Buchanan, Board VP (District 1) and Elena McComas (District 5) interjected. Both board members admitted that they are not qualified to review the budget and that they just “trust” administration.
Rubber Stamp says Joe Biden on it !!!

Let’s see the “Foundation” audit!
Are public schools more trouble than they’re worth ? Maybe it’s time to redesign education
Yeah, but you have to realize what your dealing with in Worcester County. The commissioners all are not qualified for the job. Then you have a school board that’s gotten away with everything for years. Now it’s pay the piper, because they’ve been found out. Like little kids they’re pissing and moaning. And acting ignorant like this is news to them! The amount of waste, and corruption is phenomenal in Worcester County.
Defund public education!
School vouchers for everyone?
Disolve the BOE. Its a tax sucking waste fraud abuse program with scrappy return on investment
Dissolve teacher unions
Get government out of education!!!!
Continuing this failed system is criminal
