In response to Senator Madaleno's proposal, Board of Education member Laura Berthiaume said:
I am not going to support this because I think all 24 Maryland school systems are by Constitution prohibited from charging a fee for transporting students. I think any fee imposed for transportation involving the curricular system, the curricular day is unconstitutional. So, I can't support this.Watch Board member Berthiaume's statement:
Applause for BOE member, Laura Berthiaume! You have parents in MoCo who really appreciate that you speak up amidst a board that has "yes sir'd" for years. Don't give up - we need all of the help we can get!
