BALTIMORE — Gov. Larry Hogan announced an additional $45 million today to help boost technology improvements for K-12 students.Of the $45 million allotted from the federal coronavirus relief bill, $10 million will go towards technology. Another $10 million will be used for community college work force development programs. And $5 million will be put towards urban broadband in hopes of bridging the digital divide.
Almost a half a million school-aged children are set to get what's called a Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) card.
The P-EBT card will amount to around $370 per child in food benefits. There's an effort in Baltimore to donate the value of those cards to families in need.

A government that can feed you can starve you.

History agrees with you
We are living in a post-history period now in which there is no history and we get to pretend to start over. Like in the Garden of Eden. Or soon thereafter.
Look out if you are Able.
Why?????? Why are families so dependent upon others and the government to take care of their children?
hell no!
If they'd stay home and not protest to destroy everything. They wouldn't need any more money.
No way school will be open this year at least until after the election
Wait a minute, I thought most HATE the government.
Yet cheer when they get something for free?
(pssst - nothing is free....well except AIR and I'm sure we'll get taxed on that soon enough!)
They demand respect yet won't work for anything; why after all these years are we still housing, feeding, and clothing them? This is a non sustainable drain.
No cola for retirees but 45 million to schools? Oh because you don’t plan on opening them. Home school
It's all about the free stuff. No accountability for even parents anymore.
Hogan is such a disappointment
Hitler fed the kids too. History repeating itself. Bad times coming.
But what if the parents still aren't making the children meals? We should have all the cooks and servers who are currently on unemployment assigned to a good stamp recipient child. They go to their house and cook them 3 square meals a day. That's the only way we can make sure millions of American children aren't dying of starvation.
Hogan are you stealing this money from the STATE EMPLOYEEE RETIREMENT FUND and raise taxes?
QUIT GIVING AWAY MY MONEY. You will never get re-elected except as Mayor of Baltimore since you are a Democrat.
Why when 99% of those eligible kids have parents getting SNAP? This is BS paid out of my Taxes! N o one offers me free food cuz I work my ass off!
They already feed these morons breakfast and lunch.This cannot go on much longer --all will be bankrupt
Northwest Woodsman: Don’t forget the logistical issues involved here. Since they have looted and burned grocery stores and markets, they will have to be transported to locations what were untouched or someone will be required to transport goods into those combat zone neighborhoods.
Here's a novel concept. Quit demonstrating and go do something productive, like feed your kids
What does community college have to do with getting money from Hogan. I thought Federal funds were to be used for families unemployed due to the virus. Why K-12 funding. It has been proven K-12 does not work. And 370 dollars in addition to SNAP is a crime. Vote Trump 2020.
Like I sad before and it got deleted..........."You breed 'em.......you feed 'em"
