Almost a year into his tenure as the new Baltimore County Schools Superintendent, Dr. Darryl Williams joined us for a spirited chat at State Fare recently.

So many issues at the forefront of this election season but here in Maryland education remains a constant conversation in Annapolis with Kirwan and funding becoming a growing debate. We’ll definitely get to that in the finale but here in the second of our three chats with the D.C. native we discussed all of the data and research and numbers and how they’re being implemented to make education better in Baltimore County.

We’ll discuss pre-K and reading by 3rd grade and data and standardized tests and the state’s role in the finale as well!

No one is covering Baltimore mayoral race better than we are and we appreciate all of our friends sharing our work this week! (It does not go unnoticed!)
