Dorchester County’s public schools face some of the most serious educational challenges in Maryland, but a new community-led effort is working to change that trajectory. The newly formed Dorchester Education Foundation is focused on supporting teachers, inspiring students, and fostering innovative programs that strengthen local schools and the community as a whole.
In this video, Foundation President Donna Newcomer and Board Member Chris Wheedleton talk about how the organization was created and why this moment is so important for Dorchester County. They share how the Foundation plans to provide educators with resources, encourage collaboration among local leaders, and create new opportunities for students to thrive.
The discussion comes ahead of the Foundation’s first major event, a fall fundraiser on November 8, which will bring together educators, business leaders, and community partners to invest in the future of education in Dorchester County.
The video is 6:44 long.
