$26K Contract at HHS: Board of Ed Agenda

The newly dedicated Havre de Grace High School Stadium is not quite finished yet, according to the Harford County Board of Education, which is slated to affirm a $26,825 contract for improvements at Harris Field such as sound wiring and concession stand ceiling tiles. That's just one of several items on the board's Oct. 14 meeting agenda.

Another: The Citizen Advisory Committee will recommend moving "Family Life and Human Development" to the fourth grade curriculum (it is currently part of fifth grade) because "with the age of puberty steadily decreasing, the timing of this instruction no longer meets the needs of many in the student population," according to a report the committee will present Monday.
