Strong Schools Maryland is leading the statewide, grassroots campaign in Maryland to create a world-class education system for every student, especially those who are disproportionately affected by policies because of race, poverty, language, and disability. The Kirwan Commission adopted bold recommendations for building a world-class education system. By taking bold action, Maryland's graduates will be world competitive as a result of our investment in early childhood education, high quality and diverse teachers and leaders, college and career readiness pathways, more resources for at-risk students, and governance and accountability supported by full funding.
