City-State Partnership and the Baltimore City Remedy Plan in lieu of Thornton
Commission legislation. The bill also makes adjustments to the responsibilities of
Baltimore City, the New Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners, (including
the development of a comprehensive 5-year Master Plan) the Baltimore City Public
School System (BCPSS), and increases BCPSS's bonding authority. In addition, the
word "New" is removed from the name of the New Baltimore City Board of School
Commissioners.
House Bill 853, which was passed by the General Assembly and signed by me,
accomplishes the same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign Senate
Bill 687.
