H.B. 1215 VETOES
have the potential to learn, indeed to prosper. The dire academic situation demands
quick action and any delay will accomplish nothing. The Maryland State Board of
Education's actions were not precipitous; they were based on years of solid data and
provide us with a carefully drawn blueprint for building a future for thousands of
children too long ignored.
How many more generations of future nurses, teachers, elected officials, and
successful citizens will live lives of unrealized dreams and should we condemn to
despair by our failure to act? I urge the Maryland General Assembly to allow the
Maryland State Department of Education to do its job on behalf of our children.
For the above reasons, I have vetoed House Bill 1215.
Very truly yours,
Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr.
Governor
House Bill No. 1215
