The Wicomico County School Budget has been approved for the next fiscal year.
An additional $1.6 million will be spent on improving the safety of students, student discipline and school climate.
WBOC reports the new staff will range from behavior intervention and special education…to reading for elementary students.
Superintendent John Fredericksen told the station that there were certain things that caused some concerns.
Meanwhile, the Wicomico County Education Association President Gary Hammer praised the initial funding but added more can be done.
He noted that many of the staff have been overwhelmed and that any additional help would benefit not only the staff but the students as well.
