You’ve doubtless seen the press coverage of the release of Governor O’Malley’s FY13 budget. The governor’s proposal to shift a portion of teacher pension costs to local jurisdictions received a fair amount of ink today, and likely will continue to in the coming weeks.
In response to the proposed shift, MSEA shared the following statement from President Clara Floyd with the press:
MSEA has long opposed, and remains deeply uneasy about, shifting teacher pension costs because of the detrimental impact such a shift would have on students, programs, and local school funding.
Without a comprehensive fix to maintenance of effort, a shift would be a disaster for our schools. Meeting Thornton funding and proposing strong investments in school construction are important steps. But educators, students, and parents will remain deeply concerned about how we protect the quality schools that we’ve built together until the governor and General Assembly fix the $2.6 billion of local school funding now in jeopardy due to a broken MOE law.
