Fader, Frederick County Circuit Court Judge Joanie Raymond Brubaker and County Executive Jessica Fitzwater celebrated today’s ribbon cutting ceremony of Frederick County’s Truancy Reduction Court.

Circuit court judges, case managers and community-based services provide support to Frederick’s students and their families. Frederick County is now one of eight counties in Maryland to provide this problem-solving court.
