Kirwan Commission

Baltimore City students interviewed by WYPR say they look forward to additional funding and support from the new education policy but desire to know more about what it means for students.

Alvin Thornton, former chair of Maryland’s Commission on Education Finance, Equity, and Excellence said the fight for equitable funding started over 20 years ago.

Whether known as the Blueprint for Maryland's Future or the Kirwan Commission education law, the plan is to transform education across the state and invest $3.8 billion each year across Maryland by 2032.

Public complaints about the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future education reforms ranged from lack of workers to flawed funding models to allocated $3.9 billion statewide.

Students return to public school classrooms boosted by Kirwan funding for the first time.

Civil rights advocates are seeking a judge to order the Maryland State Board of Education to significantly increase funding to Baltimore city schools.
