Education Action Team
The Education Action Team aims to inform the community about threats to public education and to identify action steps that promote respect, fairness, opportunity, and funding for all students.Our team accomplishes these goals through endorsing BOE candidates who align with the values of IndivisibleHoCoMD, advocating at county council and Board of Education meetings for local funding working with community organizations to advocate for policies that support diversity, equity, and inclusion for all students, and holding forums to educate the public on current issues in public education.
