Maryland's $63 billion budget had been hung up on whether to continue a voucher program that provided low income students with scholarships to private schools.
Moore argued that Maryland is pouring billions of dollars into transforming its public schools through its Blueprint for Maryland’s Future program. He said public money should be used to improve schools for everyone, not offer private-school options to a few. The scholarship program had doubled since 2016.
The participants, according to the state, come from families with an average income of about $34,600. Proponents view the $10 million program as a modest alternative for some students, arguing that the state can afford expenditure alongside the hundreds of millions of dollars that taxpayers are pouring into a long-term effort to revamp public schools.
