Responsive Documents
Responsive to this request, MSDE annually reports on school location, title, subject matters, and years of services for individual certificated staff without the inclusion of race and sex (change the “showing” dropdown to the year sought). Staff Data files could be limited to Howard County and sorted to find just those with social studies.
Per discussions to date, given race and sex of individual employees is not releasable under MPIA GP § 4-330 regarding sociological data, the attached contains counts by level for middle and high school social studies teachers as of the end of SY2025. Please note, this data is voluntarily self-reported by staff.
