Meet at the House of Delegates in the Canteen,
6 Bladen St., Annapolis, 1st floor.
- Say NO to funding cuts to Maryland Public Education.
- Say NO to Governor Hogan's Charter Expansion bill, which would undermine teachers' rights, remove essential oversight, and lower the quality of education in Maryland charter schools.
- Say NO to the rising cost of higher education in Maryland.
Don't Let Annapolis Shortchange Maryland Education
Gov. Hogan’s $144 million in school funding cuts threaten the progress of our top-notch public schools, slashing an average of $3,600 from every classroom and $100,000 from every school. We can’t let these cuts challenge our students’ success.
