At a time when Prince George's County is running a deficit, and the head of the school system has recently announced spending freezes and cutbacks, legislators are again trying to divert scarce resources away from actual education by forcing Prince George's schools to spend money on expensive and high-maintenance artificial turf. While the pending bill is sponsored by Senators Peters and Miller, the driving force behind this failed bill last year was Del. Jay (Nanny) Walker.
Note that this is only one of several proposed bills that would increase legislative micro-managing of the Prince George's County school system.
PG 407-15 -- Prince George's Board of Education - Public High Schools - Outdoor Synthetic Turf Fields
