In February 2009, Archbishop Edwin O'Brien appointed a Blue Ribbon Committee on Schools to develop a strategic plan for the long-term sustainability of Catholic education in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. The Committee is comprised of some of the most well known and highly respected area leaders -- Catholic and non-Catholic alike -- in education, business, government, and philanthropy. The Committee meets monthly and is expected to present a report to the Archbishop in June 2010.

The Blue Ribbon Committee on Schools is interested in hearing from all those who care about the future of Catholic schools in the Archdiocese.

The Committee invites comments from the public - including students, parents, teachers, principals, pastors, and others.

Please use the online comment form below to communicate with the Blue Ribbon Committee. If you prefer, you may submit a longer comment by e-mail and send it to: blueribboncommittee@archbalt.org.
