Student Voices Amplified at Charter Legislation Advocacy Day - January 31, 2024
We are elated to showcase the impactful outcomes of Charter Legislation Advocacy Day held on January 31, 2024, orchestrated by The Maryland Charter Alliance. This event celebrated the compelling voices of different charter schools in Marland including our own 42 high school students representing CMIT North High School who passionately advocated for Facilities Funding for Public Charter Schools in Annapolis.
Taking center stage in Maryland's state capital, the Miller Senate Office Building, Maryland House Office Building, and the Maryland State House were witness to the enthusiastic assembly of our students, staff, and charter operators. Together, they stood united in urging legislators to recognize the critical need for facilities funding in public charter schools.
Currently, Maryland does not allocate funds for facilities in public charter schools, forcing them to rely on the annual per-pupil allotment (PPA) to meet facility-related expenses. The students participating in Charter Advocacy Day seized the opportunity to engage directly with delegates and senators, passionately advocating for the passage of legislation that addresses this crucial gap.
Their appeal focused on encouraging Maryland to join the ranks of 10 states and districts that have recently enacted legislation related to facilities funding for public charter schools. Through sharing compelling narratives and emphasizing the profound impact of adequate funding on educational outcomes, the students aimed to drive positive change in Maryland's educational landscape.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all contributors to Charter Advocacy Day. The commitment of these students to the cause is fundamental to the ongoing pursuit of equitable facility funding for public charter schools in Maryland.
