Baltimore City Council hearing on Baltimore's Fiscal Readiness for Kirwan
Tue Dec 3, 5:30 PM - Tue Dec 3, 7:30 PM

On October 15th, a workgroup on school funding supporting the work of the Kirwan Commission announced recommendations for revising the state’s school funding formula. Maryland’s public schools are funded by federal grants, the state government, and the local government.

On December 3rd the Baltimore City Council will hold a hearing on Baltimore’s Fiscal Readiness for Kirwan.

This meeting was called by the city council to be briefed on the City’s fiscal readiness for the recommendations that the Kirwan Commission put forward to alter public school funding formulas for Baltimore City by the Director of the Baltimore City Department of Finance.

The city council has also requested the CEO of the Baltimore City Public School System to discuss the implications to City schools if the Kirwan Commission’s recommendations are not passed or, if passed, are inadequate to ensure that Baltimore City public schools receive the State funding they deserve.

Join us on December 3rd to hear Baltimore city’s plan to phase-in the Kirwan recommendations.
