Shocking conditions in Maryland’s juvenile facilities—like expired food, staff shortages, and safety concerns—have put the spotlight on the Department of Juvenile Services. With a new secretary and a fresh superintendent of schools, there’s a renewed push to fix these problems and give youth a real shot at education and support. Programs like Thrive Academy and Safer Stronger Together are staying, aiming to help kids avoid violence and connect families to resources. What do you think needs to change first to truly support these young people? #Education #K12 #Maryland
