The next meeting of the Innovative School Scheduling Workgroup established by Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mark Bedell will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, in the Board Room of the Parham Building, located at 2644 Riva Road in Annapolis.
The workgroup has been created to engage stakeholders in a robust conversation regarding school scheduling in Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS) and to consider innovative school scheduling models for implementation in AACPS. It consists of AACPS staff, elected officials, and representatives from community organizations.
Meetings are open to the public and public feedback on innovative school scheduling in AACPS and the work of the workgroup is encouraged. Individuals will be able to provide comment in person or virtually at the end of each workgroup meeting. A total of five speakers will be permitted to speak for three minutes each. Written comment may also be submitted to Grace Wilson, Senior Legislative and Policy Specialist, at gawilson1@aacps.org.
As the group’s work progresses, more information will be posted at www.aacps.org/schedulingworkgroup. Those who cannot attend meetings in person can watch virtually through links found on that page.
This week on Thursday Thought: Dr. Bedell talks about delicious and nutritious school meals and opportunities to join our Food and Nutrition Services team! #AACPSFamily #BelongGrowSucceed

More than 1,000 people turned out today to welcome Severn Run High School to the #AACPSFamily. The sparkling new facility opens for students on Tuesday.
At the outset of today's ribbon-cutting, Principal Rachel Kennelly paid tribute to the Wade and Schillinger families, who operated Papa John's Farm for more than a century on the site that is now the school. As just one nod to that legacy, the driveway at the school is named Wade-Schillinger Way.
And while he may have been in dress shoes and a suit, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mark Bedell showed he hasn't lost his touch on the basketball court. Let the record reflect that the first basket at the new school was knocked down by the Superintendent. In fact, he made the first four shots he took.
