Current Advocacy Efforts

The DCW supports the MTEA's current efforts to save our public school. MPS is at risk of losing their underperforming schools to a recovery district with county executive supervision. As a result of the No Child Left Behind legislation, underperforming schools have received less and less funding over the years, while high performing schools receive more support. MPS is working to provide additional support to their underperforming schools by creating "Community Schools" that leverage local organizations to engage in every aspect of school and community life. These organizations offer critical services to school families.
