Understanding the Maryland Education Code on Curriculum:
MD Education Code § 4-111 – Subject to the applicable provisions of this article and the bylaws, basic policies, and guidelines established by the State Board, each county board, on the written recommendation of the county superintendent, shall establish curriculum guides and courses of study for the schools under its jurisdiction, including appropriate programs of instruction or training for mentally or physically handicapped children.
State standards exist to establish minimum education requirements. Local Boards of Education have the legal authority to decide what curriculum, materials, and courses of study best serve their students, as long as they meet those state standards. However, the liberal State of Maryland has repeatedly sought to transform these minimum standards into a packaged political ideology—using coercion against any BOE that rejects a scheme which has strayed far from the mission of general education.
The communist state is abusing their power. They’re just trying to override elected local control regardless of the county.
Maybe so but money talks and I’m fairly certain Trumps not playing games.
Once again our highly-educated superiors prove they are the biggest bullies of all!
