The House of Delegates on Friday night approved the education reforms outlined by the Kirwan Commission, but not a way to pay for them.
The 96-41 vote gives Democrats enough votes to override a possible veto from Gov. Larry Hogan.
The bill implements the 10 years of recommendations to improve schools, including higher teacher salaries, expanded pre-K and various curriculum changes.
It also requires the state to pick up a greater share of the cost for Baltimore City and Prince George’s County.

Throwing money under the guise of better education doesn't work. Schools need to be able to get rid of troublemakers, poor teachers and those students who don't want to be there. Parents need to step up and make sure their children are real students and not behavior problems.

ReplyDeleteTypical Democrat. Pass anything that they want to and never know how they are going to pay for it. Sounds like a repeat of obama care. Pass it then read it and cross their crooked fingers!
ReplyDeleteI will vote for no incumbent when this is passed. Tired of electing idiots that has no common sense and does not support the average family and the taxes they are forced to pay. This is COMMUNISM / SOCIALISM.
