Our last chance to jumpstart public charter school innovation

Earlier last week our Bridge the Gaps campaign suffered a blow: the House Economic Matters Committee voted down a bill to champion parental involvement and allow parents to attend parent-teacher conferences without penalty from their employer.

The good news is that we still have a chance to bridge Maryland gaps in these last two weeks of the legislative session.

Tomorrow will not do

Curtis Valentine, MarylandCAN launch

MarylandCAN officially came into existence at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 in our state capital. It was a great event, and if you weren't able to make it, never fear.
