From the report: "The majority of students in Maryland spent at least a portion of the last school year learning virtually, from public prekindergarten through college. Throughout the year, jurisdictions made individual decisions to allow for a gradual return to in-person school in a variety of ways. Lessons learned from the earliest stages of the pandemic made it possible for the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) and local officials to create plans for starting the 2021-2022 school year in-person... This school year, kindergarten teachers used the Kindergarten Readiness Assessment (KRA) to assess 73% of the 61,535 kindergarteners enrolled in Maryland's public kindergartens."
