Should the Meyerhoff foundation help city schools?

Our editorial board is working on an editorial that local parents are likely to have an opinion on, and you can weigh in -- before they finish it!

You may recall that the local Joseph and Harvey Meyerhoff Family Charitable Funds recently announced plans to shift its focus to Baltimore's middle class, with the aim of keeping such families in the city by helping with college tuition, shoring up city parks and improving computer access at the Enoch Pratt Free Library.

The editorial board is arguing that the best way for the foundation to keep middle-class families here would be to dedicate money to improving the Baltimore city public school system.

You can add your comments by following the link above or sending an e-mail to talkback@baltimoresun.com. The best comments will be published alongside the editorial in the print edition.
