Baltimore City Councilman Dr. John Bullock joins Dr. Kaye to discuss the March 10 resolution which urges the General Assembly to reject the Excellence in Maryland Public Schools Act, supported by Gov. Wes Moore.
Bullock emphasizes the urgency of funding education, particularly in high-poverty jurisdictions such as Baltimore and Prince George’s County.
He highlights differences between the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future and the new act, including proposed freezes on community school funding and teacher planning time.
Bullock also notes the Blueprint’s $81 million shortfall in the next budget and the impact of gaming revenue on education funding.
