Public Education Policy
Good editorial in Sun regarding how the House of Delegates is moving forward on public education policy: “The House is right in showing a sense of urgency about moving forward with Kirwan. Every year that passes is another lost opportunity for Maryland’s students. Kids don’t get a second chance. Yes, full Kirwan implementation will require sacrifices that we haven’t fully appreciated yet, but that’s no reason not to move forward with what we can.”#working4you #mdga2019 #mdga1
