Former University System of Maryland chancellor William “Brit” Kirwan will lead a new commission to make recommendations about funding formulas and innovative strategies used in public education in Maryland.
The Commission on Innovation and Excellence in Education will revisit the equity of the state’s K-12 education funding formula, examining the alignment between K-12 education requirements and higher education expectations, Kirwan said. It will also review successful innovations in education nationally and globally. Gov. Larry Hogan and leaders of the General Assembly announced Kirwan’s appointment to chair the commission Aug. 9.
