Stimulus cash will provide help to Maryland schools
Get ready for another wave of educational change in Maryland. Just as No Child Left Behind changed the landscape in the state's schools, the stimulus money has the potential to revamp education here. The emphasis will be to make standards in the region, and perhaps the nation, more uniform and to improve teaching. This time though, the feds are dangling a carrot (in the form of money), and it will be the state governments that make more of the decisions about what the standards look like. See my story for more details of how this could play out.
