Montgomery school system poised to fight proposed budget cuts

The Washington Post reports:

Montgomery County's biggest spender -- the public school system -- has been conspicuously quiet in the weeks since County Executive Isiah Leggett (D) proposed giving the expanding system $137 million less than school officials requested.

The silence has now ended, with an exclamation point -- and a threat.

The schools have sent county officials a draft of a lawsuit they say would be filed against the county to seek an injunction if the school budget is cut any further.

Great moments in public education.
