Dear Delegate Rosenberg,
As a member of the KIPP Baltimore community, I am writing on behalf of many public charter school families in your district to urge support for a 5% all-in cap on district deductions from per-pupil funding for public charter schools.
This cap already exceeds what comparable states allow and provides flexibility across counties, while deductions above 5% would threaten the sustainability of public charter schools serving Baltimore families and undermine Maryland’s commitment to high-quality public education.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
Maryland's Public Charter School Fair Funding Fight
With more 1400 students and 2200+ alumni, KIPP Baltimore public charter schools nurture the next generation of leaders. Charter schools are public schools, serving Maryland families and students, especially those who are Black, brown, and come from low-income families, who deserve the same fairness, clarity, and stability as every other public school in the state.
Now is a crucial time when the Maryland State Board of Education is determining funding formulas for Maryland’s public charter schools for years to come. Please join us in advocating for a fair, consistent funding model for all Maryland public schools—including public charters—by contacting the State Board and urging them to adopt equitable, transparent regulations that keep resources where students need them most.
