Bill To Ensure Casino Money Boosts School Funding Passes Md. Senate

Hundreds of teachers, parents, staff and students rallied in front of the Maryland State House to demand casino revenue is used to increase funding for schools.

The bill has not yet been approved by the House of Delegates.

The Senate vote came not long after hundreds of teachers, school staff, parents and students marched around the statehouse in Annapolis in favor of the bill.
