In response to the recent commentary, “Time for Maryland to cut private school vouchers” (March 31), I would call attention to the readers of The Baltimore Sun that the Maryland Department of Education budget for 2025 is $10.1 billion.

Is it unreasonable to spend $9 million (or .0009%) of that budget to provide low-income students an alternative to our failing public schools through the Broadening Options and Opportunities for Students Today or BOOST program?
