Federal Funding Boosts Charter Movement in Maryland

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/education/bal-md.charter09jun09,0,408393.story?coll=bal-local-headlines

Late last week, Maryland Schools Superintendent Nancy Grasmick announced that the state is slated to receive an $18.2 million federal grant for charter schools. Most of the grant money will help groups wanting to open new charter schools after the fall of 2008. About $900,000 of the three-year grant also could be used to provide training to the state's existing charter schools. Nine charters have been approved to open this fall. Another 15 groups have applications pending.
