Statement from MSDE:
Barbara Fisher of Prince George’s County, was presented with the JoAnne L. Carter Memorial Award in recognition of her involvement with Carrollton Elementary School. This award is given annually in honor of JoAnne
L. Carter, Deputy State Superintendent for the Maryland State
Department of Education, who lost her battle with cancer in 2009. A
parent herself, Ms. Carter was a staunch advocate for parental
involvement in education. The award is given annually to a parent that
exemplifies all that she held dear.
The Parent Involvement Matters Awards is the nation’s first and only statewide award program of its kind. The Maryland State Department of Education’s program recognizes
parents and guardians for their exceptional support of public
education. Parents were nominated for demonstrating significant,
positive impact in their communities across five areas of parental
involvement: Communication, Volunteering, Learning, Decision Making and
Community Collaboration.
