Passage of the bill to fix the State's Maintenance of Effort law has been a huge victory for education funding. However the legislature has failed to complete action on the state budget.
This past Monday was supposed to be the final day of the session. But the clock struck midnight before the legislature acted on important components of the budget that would protect state funding for our schools in the coming year. If the legislature fails to reconvene to address this, it will trigger a so-called “doomsday budget” that will mean more than $200 million in cuts to school funding next year.
Our Advocacy Must Continue
We need one more phone call, email, text, and legislative contact to force the General Assembly and Governor O’Malley to act and ensure the Doomsday budget is not enacted. Send an email with this link, and/or call our legislative hotline at 866-268-MSEA today!
