ANNAPOLIS, MD – March 7, 2020 - Members of the House Minority Caucus yesterday offered a series of amendments to improve legislation implementing the Kirwan Commission recommendations (HB 1300). Over the course of almost three hours of debate, caucus members offered fourteen amendments covering a wide variety of issues.
Included in the amendments was a measure requiring a pause in the program if academic outcomes did not improve by at least 25% in five years.
“It is my hope that this bill succeeds and we do not have to take this step,” said Chief Deputy Minority Whip Jason Buckel. I hope the advocates are right and this works, but if it doesn’t, we need a mechanism to ensure meaningful accountability.”

In five years they'll have forgotten what they did five years before.
Indoctrination through Common Core CAN'T be fixed. Period!
Don’t send any more money to Baltimore City. Test scores in single digits. No amount of money will fix that.
In five years all the new taxes implemented for this trash unreliable BILL will never be canceled upon failure of this worthless BILL and MD will be screwed royally forever.
Get out OF MD now you have been warned. A Simple solution they dont want is SCHOOL VOUCHERS. No they want more of our money TO WASTE ON EDUCATION. DONT BE A SUCKER ... ITS A LIE
