Paying for education
The Blueprint for Maryland’s Future is a massive education reform proposal currently before members of the Maryland General Assembly. There are two questions many are asking about the education reform, also known as the Kirwan bills. The first is, what will the bills do for Frederick County? The second is, how will Frederick County pay for the reform? To answer some of these questions, producer Heather Mongilio met with County Executive Jan Gardner and Joy Schaefer, government affairs director with the county executive’s office. Schaefer sat on the Kirwan Commission. Mongilio then met with statehouse and county reporter Steve Bohnel, followed by food and education reporter Katryna Perera about different aspects of Kirwan. Perera also spoke with Mongilio about her latest review. This week she looks at restaurants across the county participating in Restaurant Week.
