  • During a speech at the Iowa Technology Town Hall in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on December 7, 2015, Martin O'Malley discussed the importance of STEM education. He said, “We need to put in place career and technical education in high school that actually give kids the skills they need to be innovators, to be entrepreneurs and actually fill the jobs being created in today’s knowledge-based and information economy.”[2]
  • Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, accused O'Malley’s administration on November 4, 2015, of “cheating” on the National Assessment of Educational Progress exams in his state by excluding some students with special needs. Hogan said, “The administration was cheating on the scores. They weren’t counting disabled, disadvantaged kids as other states were. This was the final report card for the O’Malley administration on education.”[3]
  • In July 2015, O'Malley advocated for freezing tuition rates at public colleges and improving Pell Grants and federal work-study programs. O'Malley's proposed program would seek to allow public college students to graduate debt-free.[4]
  • During his 2010 campaign for re-election, O'Malley expressed his continued support for charter schools as part of his plan for school reform.[5]
  • While serving as Maryland governor in June 2009, O'Malley worked with State Superintendent of Schools Nancy S. Grasmick to adopt the Common Core State Standards Initiative.[6]
  • During his 1999 campaign for Mayor of Baltimore, O'Malley said, "I am not in favor of vouchers at this point. My focus is on the early years, expanding pre-K and after-school programs and finding money for mandatory summer school."[7]
