Charles County Public Schools (CCPS) seeks additional community feedback regarding proposed changes to Educational Equity Policy – Policy 1820. Proposed revisions to the policy are currently posted on the Board of Education of Charles County BoardDocs platform. The Board of Education is set to approve the policy next month.
Community members, including staff, students, and parents, can complete a survey to provide feedback on the proposed policy changes. It is recommended survey respondents review the proposed changes prior to completing the survey. The survey is available in English and Spanish, and the deadline to provide feedback was extended to 11:59 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 31.

The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) and Code of Maryland Regulations Reporting Requirements, also known as COMAR, require local school systems to review the Educational Equity Policy for the school system every three years. Click here to review more about COMAR regulations.
Earlier this fall, CCPS asked for community feedback about the proposed changes and a survey was available in September. The school system received minimal survey feedback and re-opened a survey through the end of October. To view initial survey feedback, visit the school system website to view data shared with the Board of Education at its Oct. 10 meeting.
The CCPS Department of Community Engagement and Equity (DCEE) is overseeing the Policy 1820 revision process.
