A special Parents Coalition hats off to Delegate Jolene Ivey, a state representative from District 47 in PG county. Del. Ivey is demonstrating that she is a true leader in the Maryland legislature, and a strong advocate on behalf of its children.
As readers of this blog know, MoCo and its sister counties across the state are faced with tough budget decisions this year. PG County looked into charging bus fees for their students who attend special programs.
Guess what - its just as illegal to charge bus fees in PG as it is in all local jurisdictions in Maryland. But instead of pushing legislation to get around those fees, like MoCo's own Sentator, Rich Madalano, Delegate Ivey did some research, got some answers from the state, and then shared the letter with her constituents.
You can read the memo to Del. Ivey here.

What a great job, Delegate Ivey, on behalf of PG County.
