$80 million in additional funding from the state of Maryland is earmarked for school construction in Baltimore County

The Baltimore County (Md.) school district has received an additional $80 million in state grants for ongoing school construction projects,

WBAL-TV reports that Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski's office says the money will be distributed as follows:

• $26 million toward a new Lansdowne High School
• $20 million toward a like-new Towson High School
• $15 million toward a new Deer Park Elementary School
• $10 million toward a new Scott's Branch Elementary School
• $8 million toward a new addition at Dundalk High School
• $1 million toward a new addition at new Pine Grove Middle School

Olszewski says the extra state funding also will help expedite other projects in the future, including a new Dulaney High School, solutions for high school crowding in the Northeast and Southeast clusters, and plans for a new CTE Center in northwest Baltimore County.

The upcoming school rebuilds and renovations are part of Olszewski's $3.3 billion plan to improve every school in Baltimore County over 15 years.
