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

MABE has joined NSBA’s Stand Up 4 Public Schools campaign to support public education, and we hope you will too! Check out NSBA videos to learn more: Why We Do What We Do and No Ordinary Day

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 the 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 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.

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 education is the gateway to a better future for our children and the community overall. A quality system provides a means for many that may otherwise not have the opportunity. I am honored to be part of a team of individuals that constantly look for ways to succeed and think outside of the box. We have a very diverse population in Maryland -- and our educational system must be able to adapt to changing needs. We must provide for each child's diverse needs -- rather it be education, healthcare, mental health, or emotional well-being.

- Tammy Fraley, Allegheny County School Boards

Public education provides opportunities and resources for every child to be successful. Investing in our children is investing in our future.

- Virginia McGraw, Charles County School Board Member
