Senate panel approves charter school measure

ANNAPOLIS, Md. —A Maryland Senate panel on Tuesday approved a heavily reworked version of Republican Gov. Larry Hogan's proposal to ease restrictions on the state's charter-schools law.

The Senate Education, Health and Environmental Affairs Committee voted 10-1 for the measure, sending it to the full Senate for consideration this week. Committee members said the bill was the product of considerable compromise after long discussions.

"Nobody's going to be completely happy," said Sen. Joan Conway, a Baltimore Democrat who chairs the committee. "I haven't been happy since the day I saw this bill."
