ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WBFF) — Lawmakers are expected to learn more information about proposed changes to Maryland’s massive education spending plan, known as the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future, during a joint hearing Wednesday as Gov. Wes Moore’s plans are heard.
The joint hearing comes as the General Assembly continues to grapple with the uncertainty stemming from decisions at the federal level when it comes to funding and the federal workforce. The budget deficit in Maryland continues to dominate most of the discussions in the State House, and what happens on Capitol Hill will likely determine how severe the budget cuts are in the state.
One area where there’s a large consensus about adjustments however deals with the 10-year education spending plan. Gov. Moore’s budget includes making several changes to the Blueprint, including pausing teacher collaborative time and adjusting funding formulas for certain communities.
Collaborative time is an aspect of the plan that gives teachers more time outside teaching in the classroom to prepare; however, due to teacher shortages around Maryland, there simply isn’t the capacity to comply with the requirements.
But other aspects of Gov. Moore’s proposed changes – like freezing funding at current levels for community schools, which impact communities with concentrated poverty – will likely be an uphill challenge from the administration.
Public school is a failure
Public schools are nothing more than Detention Centers for future inmates of America
Please note that Democrats continually throw billions of dollars at these failed education plans. Not once have i ever seen them do a complete investigation as to why their efforts continue to fail. The solutions for Democrats is simply raise taxes to throw at these problems. Marylander’s you should be use to it by now. Democrats just keep voting the way you do and you deserve all the tax increases. Democrats will never wise up.
If the kids have no standards at home, school standards mean nothing. It all starts at home.
