Governing for Equity

The Maryland State Board of Education has mandated educational equity as a priority for all school systems in the State. In response, the MABE Educational Equity Committee has created a Workbook: Leading for Educational Equity through School Board Governance to assist Maryland School Boards in focusing on educational equity as an integral part of its decision-making process. Through the use of the Workbook, this session will explain the relationship between equity and equality; how educational equity benefits all students; and how Boards can evaluate its decisions through an equity lens.
