While all eyes are on the Kirwan bill, NAACP_LDF attys @AjmelQuereshi & @CaraMcClellan6 remind everyone that we are in active litigation to compel MD to comply w/even greater constitutional funding requirements for #Baltimore City. baltimoresun.com/opinion/op-ed/…
It’s important to know that there are limits to what #Kirwan can deliver for #Baltimore City schools. 
Infrastructure must also be address. It’s a key part of our demand in the suit the @NAACP_LDF & @ACLU are pursuing on behalf of #Baltimore City students.
I'll use this thread to keep a "tally" of the required county contribution under the Kirwan Formula Workgroup Plan today. It stands at $1.35B under the draft thus far. We all expect the details to change today, but unclear on ripple effects. DLS doc: dls.maryland.gov/pubs/prod/NoPb…
On page 5 of that document, see the $8,051m column for current law mandated spending, and then the $8,995m column. That's NOW versus (draft) FULL KIRWAN in FY2030. However, it's understated significantly...
The $8,995m column includes the effect of counties *reducing* their contribution below current MOE requirements - they can't do that. So, a clearer look would be to compare the *greater* of the two numbers versus the current law.... #Kirwan #Blueprint4MD
