Without Full Staff, Blueprint Accountability Board Faces Deadline for Education Reform Implementation

Maryland’s education reform oversight board recently hired a new executive director last week to help implement the sweeping Blueprint for Maryland’s Future education reform plan, but it does not have enough funds to hire additional staff members for the next several months, hampering its progress. Without a full staff and funding, it is unlikely that the Accountability and Implementation Board can meet a deadline in two weeks to develop a comprehensive education reform implementation plan.
