Stand Up for Maryland Public Schools

“Adequately funded, student-centered public schools will provide, in a safe and supportive environment, a comprehensive education for the whole child and will prepare all of America’s children for a lifetime of learning in a diverse, democratic society and an interdependent global economy.”
– National School Boards Association, Beliefs & Policies of the NSBA

Education is the great equalizer in today’s society. Regardless of socioeconomic status, family history, or current situation, public education aims to provide equitable access to challenging and rigorous study to all those who seek it.

- Charles McDaniels, Jr., Baltimore County Public Schools Board Member

Public school education places students at the intersection of preparation and possibility. A strong public education opens the doors of opportunity and has the power to transform lives.

- Joy Schaefer, Frederick County Public Schools

To have a just and civil society, all children must be engaged in a rigorous, developmentally appropriate, culturally responsive, well-rounded education. Public education has and continues to be the single best way to universally accomplish this task. Without an open and continuously improving public education system, participation in society becomes a privilege for some rather than the responsibility of all.

- Martha James-Hassan, Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners

Public education is the foundation our democracy is built upon, and a solid foundation is critical to the freedoms we enjoy. Public education must be constantly evolving to adjust to the dynamic needs and skill sets of all its citizens regardless of ethnicity or individual challenges so as to be productive members of a global society.

- Tolbert Rowe, Caroline County School Board Member

Public schools provide access to an education for every child in every community, regardless of their personal or financial circumstances. Public education is able to provide every child the opportunity to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in their future endeavors.

- Nancy Reynolds, Harford County School Board Member
