MARYLAND EDUCATION RECOVERY PLAN

Both the State of Maryland and the Maryland Department of Education released plans on May 6 to recover and resume the economy and education. The first draft of the Education Recovery Plan did not include input from community stakeholders and has since been updated to reflect some of that input.  A new version of the plan is linked HERE and is still considered a DRAFT.  The team that is working on the DRAFT document meets June 3 and a summary of that meeting will be posted on the DDMD blog page.
