SB 126 Maryland Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Charles County - Summer Academy for Mathematics and Service Pilot Program - Establishment

SB 126 establishes a 6-week summer math program for Charles County students in grades 9-11 who are not proficient in algebra or geometry. It requires Charles County Public Schools to implement the program during summer break, offering math instruction, transportation, meals, and adaptive learning technology. The Maryland Department of Labor will provide grants to the school system based on the number of eligible students and must develop program standards, report annual outcomes (including math proficiency changes), and publish aggregated data. The program runs from October 2026 through September 2040, focusing on reducing learning loss and accelerating student achievement.
