From the Comprehensive Support and Improvement plan...

"Reimagining the use of talent, time, resources, and a combination thereof is an essential part of the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future, and a necessary component in supporting school improvement. The Every Student Succeeds Act also obligates us to critically evaluate where resource inequities–the misalignment of resources to the real areas of need–have caused gaps in school performance and left critical needs unaddressed or under-addressed.

These CSI plans are the mechanism for detailing how we will recognize, address, and rectify those inequities–with support and collective effort from Central Offices, from MSDE, from Community Members and Partners–in order for students and schools to be successful. These foundational elements are core components in the CSI Implementation Plan and all schools are required to consider, respond, and expand on opportunities at the school level for reimagining and accurately realigning the use of talent, time and resources.
