Sanchez, did you know that most foreign countries do not charge their youth to further their…Read More education. College may be a privilage but they sure as hel could make it easier fo us to afford it. I work a fully time job and make the same as my boyfriend who is a mechanic and because of my income alone I cannot receive financial aid. Also, under the eyes of the state, even though I claim myself for college I am still a dependant upon my parents, though I do not live their. How is the right? I have to be either married, have kids or be 24, and even then I am not guaranteed financial aid.

The students, staff and PTA Presidents from Catonsville Middle and Hillcrest Elementary Schools just…Read More stopped by the Maryland SPCA with carloads of pet supplies, food and the proceeds from today's Spring Fun Run for the homeless pets in our adoption center. Thank you everyone who participated in some way with these two fundraiser! All of the donations will be put to good use. We do not receive any funding from the government or the ASPCA. We are able to help people and pets in the community because of generous donations like we received today. Thanks again--the pets send the students lots of wags and purrs!

On the Mark. The slots money was never going to be EXTRA money to education. It is a source but…Read More not EXTRA source. The slots cash that goes to education frees up other money we earn and have confiscated by the legislooters to spend on their fav projects like illegal aliens education.
The slot legislation never stated even one MORE dime will be spent on education.

I'm really sorry the children at this event had to witness this. Both were at fault for immature…Read More behavior given that this was nothing more than a photo op for the children to be used in announcements/school news etc. Thank God for whoever did the video editing for school news because you can't tell anything happened from it. KK should be more controlled but I'm disappointed that these seniors behaved this way in the presence of children. Thank you Dr. Dance for remaining composed as usual in the face idiocracy.

Hmmmmm I Like this idea, Im go to LRHS and the last few days of school are normally testing its not…Read More Chaos even on the last day of school...its more calm cause we know we are leaving for the summer....I think we should get out the same time as the city but. I think it should be half days cause then we are really calm.
Nancy Saks May 3, 2013 at 04:36 pm
In order to qualify for state and federal money, school have to be in session for a certain number…Read More of hours. There should be meaningful activities planned at all times during school hours. This is up to the principal to make sure that the teachers are planning learning activities. With no 1/2 days at the end of the school year, teachers will need to do alot of the closing up chores during school hours. They do not have enough free time during the day and that is work that can't be brought home.
Nancy Saks May 3, 2013 at 04:45 pm
All school in the country have the same number of school days. The superintendent does not decide…Read More this and parents will not be able to change it. Teachers look forward to summer because their job is extremely stressful and they work many 10 - 12 hour days and on the weekends. They are exhausted by this time of year and need a break.
ron schaeffer May 2, 2013 at 03:53 am
I live in balto county and agree with dave a.i also found it sad that kk continues to frame. this as…Read More a " seniors verses kids"issue . I don't need kk(or anyone else) to provide a breakdown of anyone's age bracket as this factor isi not relevant to this issue..i don't care to know kk's age-but I do know his actions were childish. I bet many seniors will remember kk's behavior -when he will have to listen to the people's voices in 2014.

"Kevin" is way off base. Soccer was indeed one of the first sports at Towson, but the…Read More people leading this debate against Loeschke did not even try to save soccer. It was all about Baseball being saved and the egos of a few local guys who are upset because they did not get their way behind the scenes. The real victims in this are the baseball and soccer athletes as they are pawns in these men's quest for power that they no longer have. The baseball stadium was paid for by a majority of state funds along with 250K from one donor. There is no soccer stadium to speak of. Unitas Stadium is used by Football, Field Hockey, Men's Lacrosse, Women's Lacrosse and Track & Field along with Intramurals, Club Sports, Area High Schools, the Maryland Special Olympics, and many other events. The soccer stadium is nothing more than some temp bleachers on a hill so that's not even a stadium. The new arena was paid for by the University over a 20 year period using bond money up front and some naming rights dollars that will be coming in. Basketball, Volleyball, Gymnastics and Student Affairs uses this building, so again, your argument falls woefully short.
kevin April 20, 2013 at 12:59 am
what was Minnegan Stadium ? What was USArmy official Phsyical education program that was used in…Read More Europe in World War II and adopted by military to keep our troops ready especially for Normandy? baseball is being saved because it is in season however the same gentlemen trying to save baseball are involved with soccer and will not let it drop.I'm not off base I know that Maryland officials are worried possible defeat of Ballot questions could be DEVESTATING. franchot and O'Malley know they want to keep machine in place .Do you realize power of lawyers that went to Towson ,Uof B and Maryland that are going after her next year? Do you realize that If they keep women's soccer and that it is proveen that title IX is bogus lawsuits of reverse discrimination are coming Tim? You see Baseball needed up front because there is no like sport softball is a different game .If women's soccer is played every male can bring suit against state especially any that have attended before she took it away .Because it is offered in recruiting material .It would be nice for them not to put soccer through this but seems like it is personal between her ,Waddell and soccer. Many kids are definitely staying at Towson through next year it will be Free money .
PMM49 April 20, 2013 at 09:21 pm
FYI, there was not, is not now, a Title IX case involving TU. The supposed threat of one was…Read More manufactured in order to justify the moves to drop baseball and soccer. TU will now have fewer men's sports than any member of the Colonial Athletic Association.
William & Mary, a pretty fair academic institution, has ten men's sports. It is possible, with competent management, to be a school where there are a variety of athletic opportunities for men and women, and be a superior academic institution as well.

If this were true and unambiguous, then our property tax bills should have remained equally…Read More "unraised" during those 25 years. Mine certainly hasn't; not one year has the amount payable remained unchanged or even slightly reduced - not ever.
Last year the County finally got around to addressing the reality of vastly reduced home values over the prior 5 years, and their assessments were reduced. However, the taxation rates were "adjusted" to suit, with the net effect that even with the reduction in assessed value, our taxes still increased by a few hundred Dollars per year.
Based upon these certain facts, I fail to see any part of the equation which reflects an "unchanged" level of taxation.
All levels of government need to start doing more with less... just as we are all expected to do these days.
Good management, cost-effective procedures and efficient purchasing practices would go a long way towards achieving this and similar goals which would benefit the taxpayer base far more than doublespeak.
I guess if you don't like the way the graph looks, you can always turn it upside down, right?

Steve what part of Every Jr and high school will now have an armed resource officer? KK screwed up…Read More he wanted to do exactly what Buzz said EXCEPT he didn't realize Obama had cut funding for elemetary school security what 500 million before Sandy Hook. Fact is had he not Sandy Hook would have had better security,either officer or better locks.Maybe you should read about exactly what the principal did with security grants avaiable.She purchased Best locks affordable.How is Stealing a Park from the citizens ofDundalk ,thier parents and grandparents paid for to keep taxes in Owings Mills ,Pikesville down if not a DIRECT raise of property taxes for Dundalkians? Buzz your explaining how home owner taxes have significantly increased is way over the head of" Steve The High School Drinking Game" poster to understand.Common sense isn't used in O'Liar talking points.
Buzz Beeler May 16, 2013 at 11:43 pm
Thanks Kevin. They just never figured on the cost, training, liability or the other details needed…Read More for an operation this size.
This issue was no secret in the department. Everyone on the job knew about it. It's hard to keep a secret among 2,000 employees.

Matthew April 12, 2013 at 10:51 am
If and when it is going to happen, it is going to happen. We should continue the common sense…Read More practices that we've been doing for years. This alarmist nonsense needs to stop. Putting up more cameras and acting like the doors are locked (which many, many are not) isn't going to stop the next crazy person from doing something stupid.
But of course, it sounds good. And looks good...sure do love publicity.
I also find it funny that teachers are supposed to 'intervene' early by recognizing things, yet it is somehow ok to keep piling kids up into classes of 35-40 students per. Make it real easy to get to know your kids.
Put your money where your mouth is Duncan, Dance, etc. You want secure buildings, get rid of the trailers, have kids inside a secure building and not going in and out all day (which causes many to leave property and return...just waiting for what happened at Glen Burnie to happen elsewhere). Do you really think people don't see through this BS?
Zoobie April 15, 2013 at 09:48 pm
Perhaps the esteemed secretary should be introduced to The NRA. I am sure they would be more than…Read More willing to start a course where students could be educated in the SAFE use of firearms.Early learning reference to The Second Ammendment to The Constitution arms a student with knowledge as to why The Framers saw the need for a well armed society ready to defend The Homeland. Take away the alarmist approach to guns and violence, and educate, showing the Safety and Use of Firearms in the modern world.
Walter April 17, 2013 at 08:43 pm
It's so wonderful that Patch leaves a story above the fold for a week with no update. This story…Read More just never gets old! It's a good thing there isn't anything else happening in the area, like a new school being built in the Catonsville area. Why would I want to read something like that at Patch?
Don't spoil your readers! Just keep doing what you're doing.

Sarah,
Because this was extended out to all Baltimore County we haven't had the chance to send…Read More those forms to all the County H.S. As of right now Catonsville & Lansdowne Guidance has the forms for the girls and the schools have been spreading the word. I have asked that the Baltimore County School System please forward the information to the rest of the schools. If the girls are interested all they have to do is mention this to Guidance. A few people have even taken the extra step and printed the information out for girls with out internet so they can fill it out and give it to guidance.
You do not have to have a facebook page to sign up... This was just one of the ways we used to spread the word. Thank you!

Steve - that's BS and you know it. The entire Dept of Ed is a huge waste of public funds that could…Read More be used to support schools in need rather than paying fat salaries to mouthpieces like Duncan. School safety is a local issue and unfortunately BCPS and the BCPD are not securing buildings. I'm on a school parking lot RIGHT NOW and I'm watching kids and adults walking in and out of a BCPS school. Will Arne fix that?
