For their selfless, daily efforts working to champion quality public education in Maryland, enormous thanks from the Maryland Association of Boards of Education (MABE) go to local school board members from throughout our state. So many students, their families, and communities appreciate and benefit from your important work. If you’re a school board member, your ongoing work and dedicated efforts mean so much!

In a special message honoring Maryland School Board Recognition Month this January, Maryland Superintendent of Schools Carey Wright, Ed.D. notes local school board members’ efforts “are essential to the continued progress of Maryland Public Schools.” She adds, “Representing your communities, you play a vital role in shaping the future of education across our state. Your work involves balancing diverse perspectives, navigating complex challenges, and making decisions that directly affect students, families, and communities. The time and dedication that you bring to this work make a difference for students across our state.”
