MARYLAND – The state is pushing to make the educational experience better for young black men. A task force put together by the state Board of Education called ‘Achieving Academic Equity and Excellence for Black Boys,’ was aimed at addressing the disparities black boys face, in schools, and dedicated to transforming the culture. “Our mantra has been, if our black boys are in trouble, so are we all,” says Task Chair, Dr. Vermelle Greene
With eight months of research and studies; state educators, superintendents, teachers and parents put together a resource guide which will take steps to address the disparities black boys face and create ways to improve it. “We don’t want these youngsters, especially our black boys to come back to the same old same old. Being at the top of suspension rates and at the bottom of test scores, we want to change that,” says Dr. Greene.
