Carey Wright, Maryland’s interim state superintendent of schools, will be on the job another four years. In a unanimous vote Wednesday evening, the Maryland State Board of Education selected Wright to run the state’s public schools on a more permanent basis, a job she’s said she wanted from the beginning. Wright, a native Marylander, called her selection an honor and committed to improving how schools teach reading and math.
Maryland schools have a new superintendent. She’s a familiar face.
