Education
In 2020, Legislators debated and passed the Blueprint for Maryland. Unfortunately the bill was vetoed by Governor Hogan, but his veto was overridden in 2021. Since then, our Issue Team has been inactive, but UULM-MD still follows​
implementation of the Blueprint as well as other education bills related to our shared UU values. In some cases, we provide testimony when the issue requires it. The table below shows the bills we are tracking in the current session.
​
Subject | Bill Number | Title | Position | Priority | Current Status | Current Location | Testimony Submitted | Synopsis |

Every child should have a quality education to advance their opportunties for personal development and gainful employment | Maryland should adopt comprehensive and well researched legislation such as the "Blueprint for Maryland" to transform our current educational system to align with the top world class educational systems. |
Children should be protected from harm motivated by racial animus | Local school systems need to take action to prevent hate crimes and other harmful acts of racism throughout all levels of Maryland schools. |
Children should have equal access to resources needed for learning | Local school systems need to address inequities in education revealed by the COVID-19 pandemic, such as access to computers and internet that are essential for remote learning. |
