Maryland seeks public feedback on proposed literacy policy for students

BALTIMORE, MD—The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) is gathering public feedback on a proposed policy aimed at improving literacy outcomes for all students.

The policy, which is still in its draft stages, would be a framework for the state’s literacy standards and practices. The MSDE wants to hear from educators, families and community members about their ideas and feedback on the current proposal.



“This initiative aims to enhance data-driven literacy standards and practices across the state, ensuring every student receives a strong foundation in literacy,” said Dr. Carey M. Wright, State Superintendent of Schools. “Feedback from educators, families and community members is crucial in shaping this policy to best meet the needs of our students.”

The public can review the draft policy and offer suggestions through an online survey until July 19. The policy will also be discussed during the State Board of Education meeting on July 23.
