Baltimore teachers propose $1,000 "baby bonus" for new parents to reduce childhood poverty.
Baltimore teachers propose a $1,000 "baby bonus" for new parents, aiming to reduce childhood poverty from birth. The initiative, inspired by a Flint, Michigan model, could cost $7M annually and appear on November's ballot after securing 10,000 signatures. The one-time payment hopes to financially support families and raise awareness of childhood poverty, potentially leading to more comprehensive systemic changes.
