Kirwan Commission Recommendations
This is a big day for public education in Maryland. The Speaker of the House is holding a press conference this morning to introduce the first phase of the Kirwan Commission recommendations - House Bill 1413. There are some very exciting initial initiatives including a match for teacher raises of 1.5% as long as the county funds 3%. Also, the funding of mental/behavioral health coordinators for each school system, increases funding for special education, and full day K for 4 year olds. More details in the summary below. Feel free to share. #Blueprint4MD #Working4MD
