[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't our current MD State Superintendent come from MS, specifically because of the reading improvements that happened while she was there?[/quote]

Yes, Carey Wright. This is the main reason she was brought to Maryland last year. The new state reading policies are similar (though not exactly the same) as what she implemented in Mississippi. The 3rd grade hold back in Maryland allows for a parental waiver, for example, where in Mississippi there was no opt out. That goes into effect starting in 2027.

Also, the federally-funded lab that she tapped to oversee the program in Mississippi (primarily with literacy coaches who were experts in their field) was recently cut by the Trump administration, so I wonder how that will impact her effectiveness. She still looks promising, all things considered. [/quote]

She wasn't brought to Maryland.  She is from Maryland.  She worked in MCPS.  She took her MCPS boyfriend with her when she went to Mississippi and got in trouble for hiring him under the table. [/quote]
