About School Choice for Maryland
We believe that all parents in Maryland should have a wide variety of educational options for their children, based on the needs of their individual students. We do not think that children should simply be assigned to schools just because of where they happen to live.
Children’s educational needs are often unique, and many students simply do not excel in the “one size fits all” environment that exists in Maryland. Parents should therefore have greater opportunities to choose the school that is best for their individual child, whether that school is a traditional public school, charter school, private, or religious school.
School Choice for Maryland is a project of the Maryland Public Policy Institute.
