Maryland's Governor Wes Moore plans to address teacher shortages and budget deficits by proposing new education policies.

Maryland's Governor Wes Moore plans to propose policies to attract teachers and pause certain school reforms due to a teacher shortage and budget concerns. The state faces a $3 billion deficit, which could escalate to $6.2 billion by 2030, potentially impacting the Blueprint for Maryland's Future, a costly education reform plan. Delegate Jesse Pippy calls for changes to the Blueprint, citing its high cost. The Governor will release his budget on January 15th, aiming to balance education, health, and transportation investments. House Speaker Adrienne Jones is also focusing on protecting vulnerable Marylanders and supporting historically marginalized communities.
