Montgomery county public schools

The council's public safety committee voted against Leggett's plan to hand pink slips to nine school resource officers and nearly two dozen fire officials, among other modifications to a $36 million savings plan proposed by the county executive for this fiscal year.
Leggett is asking most department heads to consider cutting their budgets by as much as 15 percent in fiscal 2012, which begins July 1.

On Monday, Councilman Philip M. Andrews (D-Dist. 3) of Gaithersburg, who chairs the Public Safety Committee, said he would like for Montgomery County Public Schools to pay for all or some of the program, which serves its schools.
