Task Force on Education Funding and Student Population Growth

SB 62 establishes a 10-member Task Force on Education Funding and Student Population Growth in Maryland. The Task Force, appointed by legislative leaders and the Governor, includes education officials, school administrators, and public representatives to examine how delays in student enrollment counts affect school funding and how growing student populations connect to funding needs. It must analyze these issues and submit recommendations to the Governor and Legislature by December 15, 2025, before the task force dissolves on June 30, 2026. This bill creates a study group to inform future education funding decisions, with no direct policy changes enacted by the bill itself.
