Teach MD works to impact Jewish day schools and families across the state. Teach MD is a branch of the Orthodox Union’s Teach Coalition, a multi-state, grassroots movement devoted to advocating for nonpublic school program, funding and resources.

In 2023, Teach MD has joined champions in Annapolis to advocate for a proposed school nurse program, an innovative student transportation program, and the restoration of the BOOST program.

Teach MD leaders advocate with legislators in Annapolis. Please check back in to learn about more opportunities to join in our advocacy!
