State officials offer grim details on Blueprint funding plan
State officials said the implementation of the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future education plan would require difficult decisions at the local level as officials will have to prioritize spending.
In a virtual meeting Tuesday, the state’s Accountability and Implementation Board, or AIB, met with the Worcester County Commissioners and the Worcester County Board of Education to discuss implementation of the Blueprint, the state’s comprehensive education reform plan. The Blueprint will require local school systems to increase teacher salaries and expand dual enrollment offerings, among a variety of other changes meant to improve education in Maryland.
“It’s not going to be business as usual,” AIB Chairman Ike Leggett said. “You’re not going to be able to fund all the things people have wanted in the past.”
Leggett told Worcester County officials that with Maryland students ranking 40th and 43rd nationwide in reading and math, state leaders felt the need to spent years developing a plan to overhaul the state’s education system. AIB Vice Chairman Dr. Britt Kirwan, who led that effort, said a massive change was needed.
“We’re going to have our challenges,” he said.

How about not buying pornographic books for starters? And don’t put tampax dispensers in boys bathroom-that will save $$
Worcester County isn’t doing those things. Do you even have kids in the school system? Stop falling for everything you see on Facebook.
You don’t need to overhaul the education system. You need to back to basics. Reading, writing, math and unredacted history.
