[State] Maryland [Score] 0 [Charter Law Description] 
Maryland law requires county boards to disburse to charters an amount of county, state, and federal money that is commensurate with the amount disbursed to other public schools in the local jurisdiction. In a national study of charter school funding (University of Arkansas, Charter School Funding: Inequity Expands, 2014), Maryland charter schools were receiving on average $11,754 per pupil in public funds, while traditional public schools would have received $18,053 for those students. As a result, the state’s charter schools were receiving $6,299 per pupil—or 34.8 percent—less than what the traditional public schools would have received for those students. This figure includes all sources of funding, and analysis reveals some continued inequities for operational and significant inequities for capital funding (see Component #19 for information on capital issues).
