Today, September 17th, is Constitution Day. As a reminder, here is the text from our own Constitution of Maryland, regarding Free Public Education. No ifs, ands, or buts. No fees.SECTION 1. The General Assembly, at its First Session after the adoption of this Constitution, shall by Law establish throughout the State a thorough and efficient System of Free Public Schools; and shall provide by taxation, or otherwise, for their maintenance.
SEC. 2. The System of Public Schools, as now constituted, shall remain in force until the end of the said First Session of the General Assembly, and shall then expire; except so far as adopted, or continued by the General Assembly.
SEC. 3. The School Fund of the State shall be kept inviolate, and appropriated only to the purposes of Education.
