The Frederick County Board of Supervisors have appropriated $45.5 million for a Robert E. Aylor Middle School replacement. Although the appropriation is less than the $52 million initially sought by the School Board, the Board is committed to building a school that will accommodate the greatest number of students and possible future expansion without affecting the ability to implement current instructional pedagogy and the integration of technology.
