Wicomico Board of Ed. Going to North Salisbury

Wicomico County Schools logo

The central offices of Wicomico County Board of Education are on the move.

They will wind up at a new site at Northgate Business Park complex in the northern part of Salisbury.

The board has signed a 20 year lease for $253-thousand a year.

Currently, the board has a number of portable offices next to its office building with around 150 board employees.

The move follows an effort by Wicomico County Executive Bob Culver to move the offices to the old Bennett Middle School structure.

It was rejected by the County Council.

The school system says the move will not have any effect on its capital projects.
