The AIB is deeply committed to the most extensive possible stakeholder engagement that values the rich diversity of Maryland to assist the AIB in implementing the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future and transforming Maryland's education system into a world class system. In order to closely involve as many stakeholders from diverse geographic, economic, racial, ethnic, cultural, and gender backgrounds who represent various life experiences and viewpoints as possible from across the State, the Board established initially four advisory committees focused on four of the five Blueprint Pillars. These advisory committees were for Pillars 1 through 4 and 5 members and 1 student member were selected for each committee.
As of September 2024, the AIB stood up the final advisory committee for Pillar 5, Governance and Accountability. Given the amount of interest and applications, the AIB decided to pilot a larger advisory committee and appointed 10 members and 2 student members for the inagural Pillar 5 committee.
Purpose of Advisory Committees:
To channel input from various stakeholders representing the rich diversity of Maryland with members and perspectives coming from diverse geographic, racial, ethnic, cultural, and gender backgrounds;
To identify problems, challenges, and barriers that may arise and provide insights and suggestions on what the AIB can do to address them; and
To share successes and provide input/feedback on how the work of the AIB and the Blueprint implementation are progressing.
