UPDATE: Baltimore City Now America's Third Most Funded School System

As Annapolis is set to pump more money into Baltimore City Schools, we’re learning the district has moved up in national rankings for spending.

Baltimore City Schools is now the third most-funded school system among the 100 largest in America, according to the U.S. Census for 2019. Last year, when City Schools was ranked fifth in the nation, it spent $15,168 per student. Now, it’s spending $16,184 or nearly $1,000 more per student. That puts Baltimore at number three, behind only New York City and Boston.

According to the 2019 census data, three other Maryland school systems also rank in the top ten for student spending. Baltimore City is followed by Montgomery, Howard and Prince George’s Counties. And these numbers may be going up this coming year. As part of the Kirwan Commission, lawmakers in Annapolis voted to increase public school funding by hundreds of millions of dollars.

Hummmm throw money at it and the problem will be fixed. That doesn't work ever look at the tests results from Baltimore City PG County the lowest in the state. Yet we spend more per child there than anywhere else. Democratic politicians at there best way to go governor Hooligan. I know it's not 100% his responsibility but leadership starts at the top and the failure begins where leadership starts.
