Dr. Dawson’s Bold Vision for Baltimore Schools | Baltimore News

Dr. Jermaine Dawson, newly appointed CEO of Baltimore City Schools, hit the ground running on his first day by visiting The Mount Washington School and unveiling his bold vision: every student, especially those in special education, deserves rigorous academics, unwavering support, and a sense of belonging. Drawing from his own journey through hardship and the transformative power of supportive schools, Dawson brings decades of frontline experience as a teacher, principal, and senior leader in Atlanta and Philadelphia. Facing critical challenges in literacy, math, and attendance, he’s set his sights on making Baltimore City Schools the top district in Maryland — through a culture of safety, accountability, and integrated literacy across all subjects. With transportation issues and systemic gaps still to address, Dawson’s mission is clear: build a foundation where every student feels valued, empowered, and ready to succeed.
