ABOUT
Since 2019, United Way of the National Capital Area has been actively working with Prince George’s County Public Schools to bolster student support and resources. Following the Kirwan Commission’s 2016 establishment and its subsequent recommendations for education enhancements in Maryland, the “Blueprint for Maryland’s Future” was enacted in 2021.This significant legislation champions the expansion of community schools and ensures the provision of comprehensive support to students and families in need, with a particular focus on areas with poverty levels. These schools receive state funding to ensure that equitable, academic, and non-academic opportunities and resources are made available to students and families under 13 wraparound service categories. Prince George’s County has one of the largest community schools’ initiatives in the state and new schools are phased in each year.
