MarylandCAN needs your support right now to make sure that every child in Maryland, regardless of race, ethnicity, or class, has access to a great public school.
As parents, my wife and I make the choices for our children’s future that they can’t make for themselves. Unfortunately, far too many Marylanders wake up every day with no choice when it comes to where they can send their child to school.
The Maryland Senate is currently debating a bill that hopes to change that. House Bill 1218 aims to create a task force to take Maryland’s public charter school law from second worst in the country to a ranking we can be proud of.
Even as the Maryland legislative session comes to a close, MarylandCAN Executive Director Curtis Valentine speaks to veteran reporter, Patricia Villone of CTV News about how the MarylandCAN Bridge the Gaps campaign will push forward so that every Maryland student has access to a great public education.

Ben Mendelsohn has a simple goal.
“I want every child to have equal access to education,” he said.
Mendelsohn has taken the first steps to accomplish this goal by founding a chapter of Students for Education Reform with middle school education major Nick King, who said he learned about the non-profit from a Teach for America information session on campus.
