About Wicomico County Public Schools

Description provided by the district or community — not part of the NCES dataset.

In August 2010, Maryland was awarded one of the Race to the Top education grants. The grant is worth $250 million over four years and will be used to implement Maryland’s Third Wave of Reform, moving the State from national leader to World Class. Local school systems have developed Race to the Top Scopes of Work which are closely aligned with the overall State plan to guide the implementation of educational reforms.
