Senator Mary Beth Carozza (District 38) today voted against the funding recommendations proposed by the Commission on Innovation and Excellence in Education (Kirwan Commission). Carozza is a member of the Kirwan Commission.
“While I support the overall Kirwan education policy recommendations, I could not vote for the Kirwan funding formulas as they simply are unaffordable and do not take into account the significant State and Local fiscal impacts,” said Carozza.
“My constituents expect me to balance the cost of both education and non-education priorities, and I will continue to push for a practical and affordable approach, partnering with our local jurisdictions, in moving these education recommendations forward.”
“The current all-or-nothing approach by the Commission is unrealistic and does not provide the flexibility needed for local jurisdictions. One size does not fit all when it comes to the Commission’s recommendations. I look forward to continuing to work on these education priorities when the Maryland General Assembly reconvenes in January.”
The Kirwan Commission recommendations passed with three members voting against it. The recommendations will be considered by the Maryland General Assembly when it reconvenes on January 8, 2020.

good for you Mary Beth
Maryland spends enough on education. Its not the money its the corrupt system. Just look at Baltimore from the mayor on down!We have allowed our educational system to be hijacked by left wing radical morons most whom are racist against whites and the very tax payers that pay for this garbage. The only way to get a decent education in Md is through a private school
I am tired of my tax dollars being wasted on Baltimore City and the failing Baltimore schools.
Mary Beth is just trying to sound relevant!
A School voucher. System is the solution
Thank you for having common sense!
9:26 she is relevant. At least she is trying to do something to stop this travesty.
