Breaking: AGAIN! MD State Board of Education ORDERS MCPS Board of Ed. to Comply with Appellate Court of MD Order to Review $168M Elec. Bus Contract Award

On Tuesday, February 25th, the Maryland State Board of Education once again issued an Order to the Montgomery County Board of Education to comply with the Maryland Appellate Court Order. 

The BOE's electric school bus contract is an $168 million dollar award that commits the BOE to a leasing scheme for 16 years.  There is a lot of money involved in this scheme.  It should be important to get this right.
