Every child should have access to high-quality public education. St. Mary’s County  NAACP  focuses on educational equity and we are committed to oversight to ensure that  St. Mary’s County Board of Education and St. Mary’s County Public Schools are successfully implementing the Educational Equity Policy COMAR 13A.06.    This includes ensuring   that all students, regardless of their individual characteristics, have equitable access to and benefit from high-quality instruction as well as social and emotional resources and support. And to ensure that an   equity lens is applied to reviewing policies, regulations, and procedures. This lens is also applied to resources, programs, practices, decision-making, and/or actions that will impact our students.

Advocate  for the development and implementation of  policies, regulations and practices that secure equity in education and eliminate race-based discrimination to ensure the health and well-being of all persons. Work collaboratively  with community partners to fulfill the mission.
