Franklin High Grads Heading to New Orleans

Natives of Owings Mills and Reisterstown will be heading to New Orleans to watch the Baltimore Ravens take on the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.

Jay Abarbanel feels a little dirty spending the amount of money he’s going to spend on the Super Bowl, but he just had to do it. “It’s one of those bucket list things you have to do in your life,” the Reisterstown native said. “If your team’s in the Super Bowl, you have to go.” Abarbanel, who was a sports writer for Franklin High’s school newspaper before graduating in 2003, said he’s known for a while he would head to a Baltimore Ravens’ Super Bowl. During the AFC Championshp game in quarterback Joe Flacco’s first year, he decided he’d have to go when his team made it. He’s not the only Franklin High graduate heading to big game on Sunday. Mike DeAngelis decided soon after the Ravens beat New England in the AFC Championship game that he …

Groups Step Up Complaints That County Thwarts 'National Night Out,' Other Events at Public School Buildings

Rule 1300, with its specific insurance requirements and demanding application process, is making events tough to pull off on school grounds, say community organizations.

Reisterstown community groups are constrained from holding "National Night Out," political forums and other functions by the increased bureaucratic requirements imposed by the Baltimore County school system, according to members of the groups. School officials have recently begun to more stringently enforce the district’s facility use policy, referred to as “Rule 1300,” which requires detailed documentation and increased insurance costs. The Chartley Homeowners Association is among those whose members worry that the new enforcement of facilities use rules harms its efforts to hold events and raise money. The association has held its "National Night Out" at Reisterstown Elementary School for the past nine years, but association leaders said…
