About Community Schools in Maryland

Maryland is home to over 200 community schools across 17 counties and Baltimore City. The Blueprint Bill for Maryland’s Future passed in the 2020 and 2021 legislative sessions created a pathway for eligible public schools across the state to access state and local funding to implement the strategy, hire community school coordinators and healthcare practitioners, and identify and integrate services and supports for their students and families.
