Thanks for this article, Kristen -- as a current Baltimorean who grew up in Calvert County and attended public schools there from K-12, I appreciate the Banner covering this. The BOE's actions are shameful but sadly not surprising, but I'm glad to know how many folks were out there protesting.

Mayor Brandon Scott appears to be doing something right, but somehow this remarkable, record setting decline in violence doesn't quite make national headlines the way the opposite does

Baltimore’s homicide rate dropped to a historic low last month, defied racial trends
Baltimore ended April with five homicides, the lowest monthly total in recent memory.

For instance: If murders in Baltimore were UP 40%, then Mayor Brandon Scott would be a national figure. Instead it's gone down that amount so no one knows who he is.
