Blueprint for Maryland's Future

The Maryland State Legislature passed the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future in 2021. This legislation supported the recommendations of the Maryland Commission on Innovation and Excellence in Education (Kirwan Commission). Funding to meet the Blueprint’s goals will increase by $3.8 billion each year over the next 10 years. The work of the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future is organized into five distinct policy areas as noted below*:

Maryland Department of Education’s (MSDE) work in Five Targeted Areas

I.  Early Childhood Education

II. High Quality and Diverse Teachers and Leaders

III. College and Career Readiness

IV. Resources to Ensure that All Students are Successful

 V. Governance and Accountability

The Blueprint will be implemented over the course of the next 10 years.  Anne Arundel County Public Schools staff started meetings during the 2021-2022 school year and have continued to meet regularly to collaborate and plan how the school system will meet the Blueprint goals in a timely, efficient and effective way moving into the future.
