Earlier: The Baltimore County (Md.) school board has voted to
recommend construction of a new school in Towson that would open by the
fall of 2010. Based on the school's system enrollment data as of September 2007,
four Towson elementary schools are a total of 451 students over capacity.
That number is expected to nearly double in the coming years if the school
system doesn't soon fix the problem.
