Maryland urged to raise school instruction spending and overhaul aid
A legislative report prepared for Maryland lawmakers calls for an "astruct tormal quality" law to require districts to spend more on classroom instruction and student support. It says state aid remains inequitable, with rising administrative costs and plant operations crowding instructional funding. The study notes the basic education cost per pupil is about 624 dollars, while actual costs are higher, and suggests recalibrating aid to target per pupil costs and reduce reliance on local property taxes.
