Looks like Baltimore City is getting ready to lay off a lot of teachers & administrators due to the $60-$70 million budget short fall...
To give you an idea of the poverty level in the city, 84% of the approx. 85k students in the city are eligible for free or reduced lunches. What's even sadder is a good portion of those kids are getting the only meal that day from school.
According to last year's testing results, only 14% of the student body scored "advanced" in math & only 18% in reading.
It's a shame building a youth detention center is more of a priority.
