Frederick County Charter Schools File Petition to State Board of Education for Equitable Funding.
The petition seeks to address the inequitable funding formula adopted by FCPS, which withholds 25% of the funds intended for our charter schools. This reduction significantly impacts our ability to provide high-quality education and maintain necessary resources for our students.

Community Update - FCPS' Charter Schools United - Frederick County Charter Schools File Petition to State Board of Education for Equitable Funding.

The petition seeks to address the inequitable funding formula adopted by FCPS, which withholds 25% of the funds intended for our charter schools. This reduction significantly impacts our ability to provide high-quality education and maintain necessary resources for our students. We believe that this funding model contradicts state laws and the principles of the Blueprint for Maryland's Future, which aims to ensure that financial resources follow the students.
