Nearly four months into a new academic year and money is still a very important topic of conversation in the schoolhouse , and among members of a newly-appointed Commission on Innovation and Excellence in Education.
The group, appointed by the governor and top lawmakers, now has a pretty good idea of the price tag for improving Maryland schools.
The group is led by retired University System of Maryland Chancellor Dr. William Kirwan. The group got its first official report from a Denver-based consulting firm. The firm said it'll take close to an extra $3 billion to begin the process of improving public education.
"It's not just about money. It's how you spend the money, and we'll be very focused on that as we go forward with our work because that's how we are going to make a difference in the kids," said Dr. William Kirwan, chairman on the commission.

Here they go again throwing money into a broken system. Spend the money for security. Kick out any student that is disruptive. In Salisbury, call out the National Guard and place in the schools. Apparently the WCBOE is not allowed to do their job because they would be considered racist. Let's get behind the BOE or find someone that will get the job done.
Segregation
7:39..and this is why private schools work. Even those in the inner city. Private schools make their own rules as well and enforce them.
Hey 7:39
You hit the nail on the head!!!!
Wonder why Delmar Jr-Sr High doesn't have these problems. If there are issues with students being disruptive the football team takes care of it in-house. No questions asked, no words spoken.
