4 takeaways from Maryland school board meeting on literacy, test scores, cellphones, pre-K

September 25, 2024
Captured in a metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia primary school, this photograph depicts a typical classroom scene, where an audience of school children were seated on the floor before a teacher at the front of the room, who was reading an illustrated storybook, during one of the scheduled classroom sessions. Assisting the instructor were two female students to her left, and a male student on her right, who was holding up the book, while the seated classmates were raising their hands to answer questions related to the story just read.

With the school year underway, the Maryland State Board of Education is met with questions about literacy plans, implementation of the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future education reform plan, closing opportunity gaps, and how to address cellphone use in schools. “Our assignment is to improve the system of public education and the implementation of the Blueprint to ensure that we provide an excellent education for all children,” said Josh Michael, president of the state school board, at its Tuesday meeting.
