All the better to boost the Dem voter rolls...
So this is their solution:
This is what I was talking about in that other thread - spending enormous sums of money on consultants to do the job of the people who are already being paid to do that job. No doubt there's a kickback or 8 or 10 involved.
Money isn't the problem with poorly performing schools - it's the give-a-sh*t factor. Democrat Mayors don't give a sh*t about no kids, all they care about is looting the state/city coffers and lining their own pockets. The Democrat Governors don't give a sh*t either - just a bunch of poor black kids, who cares. It's not like their parents will stop voting Democrat, so **** 'em.
Baltimorons voted for this, and it's fine with me if they get it. We are government of the people, and the people in B'more have spoken.
Earlier this year, Fox 5 Baltimore reported that "Results from the 2024 state test show nearly a third of all Maryland students who took the math exam last year scored in the lowest level of proficiency" and only 2% scored in the highest level of proficiency. Eight of the city's high schools had zero students who were proficient in math at all. Even worse, this is considered a "slight improvement" over last year's numbers. In 2023, zero students in 13 Baltimore high schools tested proficient in math.

At the beginning of the school year, State Superintendent Carey M. Wright announced that the state of Maryland would partner with the philanthropic organization Arnold Ventures to pay $20 million to Saga Education, a Massachusetts company that offers "high-impact, in-school tutoring." In a statement released by Governor Wes Moore's office, Wright said, "“High-impact tutoring is backed up by research and data when it comes to addressing the pandemic's impact on student learning. This investment in our students will pay off as we scale up successful strategies, moving more students towards better academic outcomes. We are excited to see the benefits of this partnership."
