Education - Engagement Policies and School Compact (Maryland Public Education Parental Partnership Act)

Summary

The bill would require every Maryland county board of education to adopt a written parent and family engagement policy by the start of the 2027‑28 school year. Starting in 2028‑29, each public school would have to create a Parent‑School Compact that outlines the roles of parents, teachers and students. The State Department of Education would provide guidance and technical help, and both boards and schools would certify yearly that they are in compliance.
