    The Maryland State Conference (MSC) NAACP is hosting an education solutions conference on June 15-16 to address ongoing issues plaguing African American students and other minorities in Maryland public schools. These issues include lagging academic achievement, students graduating without proficiency, school discipline problems, inappropriate treatment of special education students, and the school-to-prison pipeline. Previous efforts to work with state and local education agencies have not remedied these circumstances. The conference will bring together experts and leaders to examine strategies and actions that will improve educational outcomes now, not years in the future. If no substantial progress is made, the MSC NAACP may pursue other necessary actions.

    Maryland State Conference (MSC) NAACP

    Press Release
    Date: June 1, 2023
    Topic: MSC NAACP Education Solutions Conference

    Although African American children have the potential to learn as others, the situation of African
    American students in public schools in Maryland continues to be intolerable. It has been a
    concern of the Maryland NAACP for some time. Lagging academic achievement, students
    graduating without necessary proficiency, breakdown in school discipline, inappropriate
    treatment of special education students, and school to prison pipeline are among ongoing issues
    plaguing too many of these students as well as others. Over the years, the Maryland NAACP has
    attempted to work with state and local education agencies to remedy the dreadful education
    circumstances that confront the children. However, it appears that the situation continues to
    worsen and the consequences are becoming more evident beyond schools in communities
    throughout the state. Like response to the Thornton legislation, some are looking to the
    Blueprint to resolve these issues. But as in the past, no legislation on its own can eliminate
    problems that have grown to the extent currently being experienced.
    In considering various steps to address the educational welfare of African American students, the
    Maryland State Conference NAACP has decided again to seek collaboration by providing an
    opportunity to bring together experts and local, state, and school district leaders and
    representatives to examine strategies and actions to improve educational outcomes for African
    American and other students.
    On June 15 and 16, the state NAACP is sponsoring a statewide conference focusing on
    education of African American students and other minorities at the Maritime Institute in
    Linthicum Heights, Maryland. For more information about this event and to make
    reservations, go to the Maryland NAACP website at https://www.naacpmaryland.org/ and
    click on the link “MSC Education Conference.” The emphasis in this conference is on
    solutions that will work, not 10 years in the future but now.
    The MSC is acting in good faith in this outreach effort. If there is no substantial progress to
    improve the critical status of African American students, other actions may be necessary and will
    have to be pursued.
