The Maryland State Department of Education continues to work with stakeholders in studying the adequacy of current state funding levels for public education across Maryland. The group had its second formal meeting on September 18 to discuss the continued progress toward a multi-facated analysis of funding adequacy, and some specific attention to school size as a factor. MACo Executive Director Michael Sanderson serves as a county representative.  The group expects to meet again in early December.
