Kent County Public Schools established committees focused on four pillars of the Blueprint for Maryland's Future.

The purpose of the Blueprint Policy Area Committees is to: 

1. Share information and collect feedback pertinent to each policy area; 

2. Empower stakeholders through the co-creation of Blueprint programs; 

3. Work collaboratively to strengthen teaching and learning by meeting all requirements of the Blueprint. 

                       

Members of the Blueprint Policy Area Committees participate meaningfully by: 

1. Learning about the implications of the Blueprint on programs in Kent County Public Schools; 

2. Sharing their opinions, questions, and concerns related to the implementation of the Blueprint;

3. Making suggestions to improve teaching and learning through the implementation of the Blueprint;

4. Actively sharing their knowledge of the Blueprint with the larger school community and beyond.

The four Blueprint Policy Area Committees consist of 67 total members and include Central Office staff, school-based staff, principals and assistant principals and members of the community. 

Community members may include local business owners, childcare providers, the Department of Social Services, the Chamber of Commerce, health care providers, retired educators and representatives from higher education.
