The Blueprint for Maryland's Future

Governor Wes Moore is calling on the Maryland General Assembly to impose cuts to the landmark school reform plan.

House lawmakers gave initial approval to a heavily-amended version of Governor Wes Moore’s proposed changes to the multi-billion-dollar education package Wednesday.

Dozens of superintendents, educators and students testified at a hearing Wednesday that cuts to the education reform package would harm most disadvantaged learners.

The Blueprint for Maryland's Future, passed by the Maryland General Assembly in 2021, seeks to elevate the state's education system. But a change in federal leadership, and massive budget cuts at the state level, threaten to derail the plan.

Governor Wes Moore and local superintendents have also suggested scaling back the Blueprint’s increase in planning time due to tight teacher resources.

The district is the only in the state to not get the green-light from the Accountability and Implementation Board at this week’s meeting

Governor Wes Moore first called to delay giving teachers more “collaboration” time for lesson planning and professional development in state address last week.

Superintendent Myriam Rogers said the district is restructuring next year’s budget amid state deficits and revenue shortfalls

The Blueprint for Maryland’s Future promises a $10,000 pay boost for board certified teachers. But many say it’s too hard to complete alone.

The new school year ushers in more pre-K expansion and student outcome pushes. But progress is a mixed bag.
