"Your unwavering commitment, passion and creativity empower students to reach their full potential and inspire a love for learning that lasts a lifetime. Your dedication does not go unnoticed, and we are deeply thankful for the impact you make every day. Thank you for being champions of education and for shaping the future with your wisdom and guidance."

Blueprint for Maryland's Future

An overview from Kent County Public Schools

The Blueprint for Maryland's Future is a major statewide effort passed by the General Assembly in 2021 to transform public education here into a world-class school system. 

The Blueprint will increase statewide education funding by $3.8 billion each year over the next 10 years, enrich student experiences and accelerate student outcomes, as well as improve the quality of education for all children in Maryland, especially those who have been historically underserved.
