Appy Time for Learning breakfast fundraiser at Applebee’s Sat. morning, Oct. 21, 2017 8 to 10 a.m.

Come out this morning to help support Carroll County NAACP member Patricia Mack-Preston’s “Appy Time for Learning” education initiative on Saturday, October 21, 2017 8:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m.

$9.00 per person - Children 8 and under - $4.50

At: Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar, 634 Baltimore Boulevard, Westminster, MD  21157

Our last Carroll County NAACP meeting September 28, 2019 began with a presentation by Patricia Mack-Preston on “Appy Time for Learning,” A nonprofit 501(C) (3) fund of The Community Foundation of Carroll County.

Patricia began her PowerPoint presentation by explaining that when she retired from teaching in Howard Co. in 2015, she wanted to put into practice Proverbs 16:3: “Commit to the Lord whatever you do and He will establish your plans.”

After she retired, she remained committed to teaching and education. Programmatically “Apply Time for Learning” emphasizes technology.

Appy Time consists of educators, parents, and community members who want to be part of the solution to the academic achievement gap present in today's educational institutions. “By volunteering our time and talents to help children close the learning gap, we are impacting the success of future generations.”

Please bring new or gently used books appropriate for children through second grade (birth through 7 years of age) to the breakfast and help bridge the achievement gap for young children.

Learn more about opportunities to help by checking out their website at Appy Time for Learning, emailing appytime@icloud.com or calling 410-876-4137. For more information on Appy Time, please go to: http://www.appytimeforlearning.com/index.html

Carroll County Public Schools Superintendent Stephen Guthrie was named Maryland Superintendent of the Year 10/30/2014

Carroll County Public Schools Superintendent Stephen Guthrie was named Maryland Superintendent of the Year 10/30/2014

Guthrie Named Maryland Superintendent of the Year Date: 10/30/2014 http://www.carrollk12.org/about/news/release/1245

Carroll County Public Schools Superintendent Stephen Guthrie was named Maryland Superintendent of the Year by the Public School Superintendents’ Association of Maryland on Thursday, October 30, 2014. The selection of the Superintendent of the Year was made by a committee of his peers. The announcement was made at the annual Maryland Negotiation Service Awards Banquet held in Ocean City, Maryland.

Guthrie is currently serving in his fifth year as Superintendent of Carroll County Public Schools. He was appointed to a four-year term beginning July 1, 2010 and was reappointed to a second four-year term beginning July 1, 2014.

In a letter of support for the nomination, the members of the Board of Education of Carroll County stated that Guthrie never wavers in his leadership and advocacy for students and schools. Furthermore, the Board commended Guthrie for his ability to lead the school system through challenging economic times while always putting students first and striving to preserve the classroom learning environment. The Board also recognized Guthrie’s efforts to develop a five-year organizational plan, Vision 2018: Focus on Excellence, for system improvement.

According to Board president Virginia Harrison, “We are proud of our school system, which reflects Mr. Guthrie’s leadership as Superintendent of Schools. He earns the respect and confidence of staff, elected officials, and community leaders through his diligence, dedication, and trustworthiness.”

Jean Lewis, President of the Carroll County Maryland NAACP, in her nomination cited Guthrie for working closely with the organization and community leaders from the start of his tenure. As a result of that outreach, Carroll County and the school system have made great progress on many important issues and have established a solid foundation for continued improvement.

Lewis also recognized Guthrie for placing a strong focus on the achievement gap, recruitment and retention of a diverse workforce, and building cultural proficiency. “In Superintendent Guthrie, we have found a true partner who is concerned about the social and educational development of all children in our community. He is a dedicated and devoted public servant who cares about our community and is a man of integrity who honors his word.”

Guthrie holds a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education, Social Studies from Lock Haven University, a Master of Science in Education from McDaniel College, and a Master of Business Administration from Frostburg University.

Guthrie began his career in 1978 as a classroom social studies teacher in California. In 1981, he taught for one year in Pennsylvania before coming to Carroll County, where he was a teacher and later a school counselor. Prior to his current position as Superintendent, Guthrie also served as Director of Human Resources and Assistant Superintendent of Administration for Carroll County Public Schools.

Throughout his career, Guthrie has been engaged in multiple approaches to education through leadership activities, teaching at the higher education level, and authoring professional articles related to public school education.

Guthrie currently serves as the President of the Public School Superintendents’ Association of Maryland. He is the first Carroll County   superintendent to hold this office.

Other professional memberships include the Professional Standards for Teachers Education Board, for which he served as Parliamentarian, and the Local Management Board. He also is a member of the Governor’s PK-20 Council. In addition, Guthrie served as Regional Director of the Maryland Negotiation Service and Section Director for the Association of School Business Officials. In addition to these memberships, Guthrie has served on multiple community-based organizations, including the Carroll County Community Media Center and Carroll County Rape Crisis Intervention Services, both of which he served as Vice-President.

Guthrie was employed for ten years in the education department of McDaniel College where he held the title of Adjunct Instructor and was later promoted to Visiting Professor. He also worked as an evening counselor for five years at Carroll Community College where he taught several courses and served as a Guest Lecturer at Stevenson University.

Throughout his career, Guthrie has authored and co-authored many professional articles on various topics related to public school education and has served on countless task forces and committees both in Carroll County and in Maryland. He also has been a frequent speaker at statewide and national conferences on education issues.

In his application for this prestigious award, Guthrie placed an emphasis on the process to establish the Vision 2018 organizational plan to define priorities and guide the operations of the school system for the next five years. He is particularly proud of the fact that the plan was based on input from all segments of the community and that it reflects the community’s commitment to education and the school system.

Upon accepting the award, Guthrie said, “I am thrilled to be selected among my fellow superintendents as Superintendent of the Year. Although I am the person accepting this award, it is truly a reflection of the efforts and commitment of the students and staff of Carroll County Public Schools and the support of a community that values our school system.”

As Maryland Superintendent of the Year, Guthrie will represent Maryland in the 2015 National Superintendent of the Year program, which is coordinated by the American Association of School Administrators.

Committee to determine criteria for Carroll County education fund - baltimoresun.com:

'via Blog this'
By Blair Ames, Bames@tribune.com


2:40 p.m. EDT, July 18, 2013

The Board of Carroll County Commissioners decided Thursday to establish a 10-person committee to recommend criteria for the newly established Education Opportunity Fund.

The committee is expected to begin meeting within the next couple of weeks, according to Commissioners President Doug Howard.

In May, the commissioners approved their fiscal year 2014 operating budget, which included a controversial $400,000 allocation to create an Education Opportunity Fund for non-public school students.

Public Schools Is A Local Responsibility

Public Schools Is A Local Responsibility

Democratic Advocate, July 23, 1948.

Public Schools Is A Local Responsibility - Federal Government Cannot Do A Better Job For Public Schools Than Local Communities Is The Belief—Washington, D. C., July

— One might almost be expected to believe that education of the youth of the country is a National political issue in 1948.

Government statistics show that in 1870 illiteracy in the United States was 20 percent. The average percent of illiteracy among native whites in the United States is less than two percent.

To say that the support of local schools is not the responsibility of the communities in which children live is dodging the issue. It is just as much the duty of parents in small districts to send their children to school as it is to put clothes on their backs and food in their stomachs.

The trouble that exists in nearly every part of the United States is the growing demand that the National Government must furnish the means and money to carry on all kinds of civic responsibilities, including paying the teachers and all the school expenses.

The Federal Government cannot—and will not—do a better job for public schools than local communities.

Democratic Advocate, July 23, 1948.
