"Community Comes Through for City Schools"
It is an exciting time for public education in Baltimore. In late December, the United States Department of Education announced the grantees for its highly competitive Investing in Innovation (i3) grants, awarded to support the validation and expansion of innovative programs that benefit high-need public school students. Out of nearly 600 applications, only 23 grants were awarded, two of which will be implemented in Baltimore City Public Schools - By Betsy Nelson, Special to The Daily Record, February 28, 2012 |
"Legal Safety Net Needs Stable Funding"
It likely comes as no surprise to anyone that poor people haven't seen their fate improve since the advent of the Great Recession.
Nor would most people be surprised to learn that there are more people living in poverty in the United States today than at any other time in our country's history - By Betsy Nelson, Special to The Daily Record, February 12, 2012
