The Virtual Ready for College and Career Charette held on May 16, 2023, by the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) focused on gathering community input to shape future educational strategies. The meeting aimed to engage participants in a discussion about the implications of key strategies presented by Superintendent Choudhury.

Facilitators encouraged attendees to share their thoughts and perspectives, emphasizing the importance of community feedback in the planning process. Participants were invited to use the YouTube live chat for comments, ensuring that those unable to attend in person could still contribute to the conversation.

The discussion centered around two main questions designed to elicit diverse viewpoints on the flagship strategies introduced earlier in the meeting. This collaborative approach aimed to foster a deeper understanding of how these strategies could impact students' readiness for college and careers.

The meeting highlighted the MSDE's commitment to inclusivity and community involvement in educational planning. By actively seeking input from various stakeholders, the department aims to create a more effective and responsive educational framework that meets the needs of all students in Maryland.
