Facing harsh public criticism, a Carroll school redistricting committee is reconsidering aspects of its plan to move more than 4,000 students to new schools. The committee of parents and school administrators was scheduled to present final recommendations to the school board at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Westminster High School. That public meeting has been postponed, school officials announced, and will likely be rescheduled for next week. Kathleen Sanner, Carroll's director of school support services, said the committee has redrawn some boundaries in its draft proposal, which had angered many parents.

Trella Jorge stood in a circle of desks and spoke in a loud, clear voice. "I don't like coming here," the 13-year-old seventh-grader said to her peers at Northwest Middle School one Tuesday afternoon. "It makes me feel bad. It just makes me want to leave and run away. Why do I have to come?" JoAnn Sanner, director of Family and Community Mediation at the Carroll County Youth Service Bureau, prompted Trella's peers to assess her situation. "She's saying she doesn't want to be here," Sanner said.

Carroll County school officials have determined that an improper state inspection in September and the lack of an insurance company inspection are to blame for safety violations in a water heating system at Linton Springs Elementary School.A misunderstanding of the inspection process by Carroll school officials contributed to the problem at the Eldersburg school, which opened in August, said Kathleen Sanner, director of support services for Carroll schools.Minor boiler code violations were found at nine other county schools that had been identified as having safety concerns, but Sanner said that no serious problems were uncovered by school system or insurance company inspectors.

Serious flaws were found in the hot-water heating system last week at the newly opened Linton Springs Elementary School in Eldersburg, school officials said.An interim hot-water system has been installed, and school officials said there is no danger to students.Despite the safety violations, the flawed system had passed state inspection before the opening of the $8 million school in August, school officials said. A similar problem at a Baltimore elementary school in 1996 resulted in an accident that severely burned a first-grader.

When the new Deerfield Elementary opens on the same Edgewood campus it will share with a high and middle school, it will include an amenity designed to help retain teachers at all three schools. The $26 million school, set for a spring 2008 groundbreaking on land behind the existing building, will house a day care center for staff at Deerfield and at Edgewood high and middle schools. It is Harford County's first such venture and one that is much welcomed, according to a survey of the staff at the three schools.
