Breaking Down the Kirwan “Blueprint”

On the latest episode of the Conduit Street Podcast, Michael Sanderson and Kevin Kinnally break down "The Blueprint for Maryland’s Future," legislation to transform the State’s early childhood, primary, and secondary education system into a world-class system based on the recommendations of the [Kirwan] Commission on Innovation and Excellence in Education.This bill implements the “blueprint” for the goals of the Commission on Innovation and Excellence in Education, and takes first steps toward funding multiple educational priorities shared across multiple stakeholders including counties. Even with the longer-term efforts of the Commission still unfolding, and the county obligation toward those ends still unclear, county governments support these steps to target new funding, provide new direction and accountability, and set new expectations for Maryland’s educational system.
