"Maryland continues to lead the nation in many education categories, as exemplified in our State’s fifth straight number one ranking by Education Week, but we must never stop strengthening our classrooms. As educators, our responsibility is to maintain our progress, to make certain that our next generation and those that follow are ready for the world that awaits."
