The funding of textbooks for non-public schools was said to be a one year only funding initiative 2. Public dollars should be spent on public services. Public schools educate ALL students who come to them, they do not choose. The public school system in Maryland educates 800,000 children in over 1300 schools. Until such time when all schools and school systems are equitably funded and the needs of the public school children are met we should not even consider the diversion of public dollars to non-public schools.
Action is needed immediately.
