BALTIMORE (Map, News) - Maryland has received a $2,000 grant to help the student member of the state Board of Education communicate with county and local student leaders.
The National Association of Boards of Education awarded the grants through the Student Leadership Initiative, funded by the MetLife Foundation. Three other states also received the grants: Massachusetts, Montana and Tennessee.
The money would make it easier for the Maryland board’s student member, Brian Frazee, to relay information from the monthly meetings to his peers and student leaders statewide, State Schools Superintendent Nancy Grasmick said.

Running a small to medium size non profit organization is potentially more difficult than operating a small to medium profit business.To have the support, investment, and understanding of what it takes to walk in our shoes from major foundations helps sustain non profit execs and boards.It is not easy cobbling together multiple funding streams, finishing the year in the black, reporting out both financial results and program outcomes, supporting a staff and board, and delivering effective front line services to clients, students, etc. Assessment data and outcome measurements are critical to proving that a program or organization has the ability to operate at optimal levels. Adult literacy has received one of the highest rankings (effective) from the federal OMB because of a system of focused and measureable assessments & outcomes. Adult literacy state grantees have, because of proven results, been deemed as a good investment in education. Providers are efficient in delivering outcomes.
