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.
