Award nominees should be parents (or others with legal responsibility) of a child currently in a Maryland public school who have made a significant, positive impact on public education within the last 24 months in one or more of the following areas: communication, volunteering, learning, decision making, or collaboration. See the award application for selection criteria and examples. (Employees of Comcast, the Maryland State Department of Education, or a Maryland public school system are not eligible.) The deadline for completed applications is January 23, 2008.
One parent from each Maryland county and Baltimore City, and one state award winner will be selected for their outstanding contributions to public education and recognized at an awards event hosted by Comcast in the Spring of 2008.
