The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) and the Maryland State Board of Education are launching efforts to develop a strategic plan that will inform how the state approaches its role in leading improvements in school operations statewide. As part of this strategic planning process, MSDE has initiated multiple efforts to gather broad-based stakeholder feedback on current successes, challenges, and areas for improvement and what the best ways for leveraging current strengths and addressing weaknesses might be for the future. The R4CC team is supporting MSDE’s strategic planning efforts by analyzing data from stakeholder round table conversations and the online strategic planning survey.
