Crisis in Education Funding
• $430 million in federal stimulus funding for education WILL BE LOST
for next school year • Federal stimulus funding for IDEA and Title I
WILL ALSO BE LOST • A shift of teacher pension costs from the state to
local school districts could lead to HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS CUT FROM
CLASSROOMS • Maryland faces $1 billion+ in revenue shortfalls for fiscal
year 2012
Will you act to prevent cuts to Maryland's public schools? Join the
Maryland Education Coalition!
