Since the Baltimore Teachers Union implementation of the most recent contract with Baltimore City Public Schools high school graduation rates have risen 6.8%. This rise is indicative of the hard work of our students and their families as well as the collaborative efforts of teachers and school administrators to improve the quality of education we provide for our young people.
Although we have more work to do, these numbers show us that when students, families, teachers, administrators and communities collaborate we can provide the type of education and instruction to prepare the city’s young people to be productive citizens to our city, state and nation.
