Kudos again to County Executive Gardner for adding $10.5 million above the maintenance of effort (MOE) for our schools. Tonight there’s a hearing about the budget:
Our kids certainly can’t wait. The old BOCC’s policy of funding the public schools at MOE funding has made Frederick County dead last in the State for spending per pupil. That’s right people, dead last.
And we came across this disturbing article yesterday outlining how there has been a coordinated effort to decimate public schools. If you value education in our community you have some options to have your voice heard:
- Show up and testify at tonight’s hearing.
- Email your county council members at: councilmembers@frederickcountymd.gov and tell them that you support the County Executive’s budget.
- Vote for three of these articulate, caring and educated candidates for our Board of Education:
Let’s make sure that education is a priority here in Frederick County!
