The Baltimore-based Annie E. Casey Foundation, earlier this week, released its annual Kids Count report. In Education, according to the report, Maryland now ranks 20th - which is 7 spots lower than a decade ago. Over the past 10 years, Maryland has seen one of the largest ranking drops. While states like Mississippi, Tennessee, Utah and Florida have all seen a boost in ranking.

"Transparency is the key." That's what current Baltimore City school board candidate Kwame’ Kenyatta-Bey told Project Baltimore in 2022.
Fellow candidate Ashley Esposito agreed, saying City Schools should "lean into the discomfort" of tough interviews. Now, as both seek re-election — their positions seem to have shifted.
What happened?
Watch tonight on @FOXBaltimore.

Here’s some of what’s happening in Maryland education. A local teachers' union is encouraging its Democratic and Independent members to switch party registration to impact the Republican primaries. A former county executive says a similar strategy was used against her in 2024, and voter registration data appears to support that claim.
Should nonprofit unions be organizing these efforts?

The Harford County Education Association, the teachers’ union, is increasing its effort to impact Maryland’s primary election results by encouraging union members to switch party affiliation before the election and switch back after the election.
Sources confirmed to Project Baltimore that last week, HCEA took part in a texted video sent to many Democratic and Independent voters in Harford County.

A political video sent to Harford County voters is raising eyebrows.
In the video, the president of the county teachers’ union encourages voters to switch political parties to influence local election outcomes. Critics are questioning whether that aligns with the union’s stated mission of supporting educators and students.
Is the messaging appropriate—or a step too far?
