30K books sought for Books for Kids Day

The Maryland Book Bank hopes to collect 30,000 books for Books for Kids Day amid school funding cuts.

It's a bigger gap now that the U.S. Department of Education cut pandemic relief funding available to support schools creating a budget shortfall for schools across the nation. Baltimore City Public Schools said it will not receive about $48 million in reimbursement for funds the district already spent or is contractually committed to programs. The gap means the school system has to make cuts.
