BALTIMORE–The Maryland State Department of Education has scheduled a listening session in Calvert County next week to gather ideas for the State\u2019s plan for the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). This Southern Maryland visit will be the fifth and final stop on the State\u2019s ESSA listening tour.<\/p>\n
Each State is in the process of updating its plans for school and student improvement in compliance with ESSA. Maryland has been developing its plan with broad stakeholder input for more than a year. The Calvert County visit takes place on Tuesday, January 24.<\/p>\n
A draft of Maryland\u2019s ESSA plan, along with a brief survey published in both English and Spanish, has been posted on the MSDE website, MarylandPublicSchools.org. The State Board of Education will make final decisions and approve the plan for submission to the U.S. Department of Education this summer.<\/p>\n
