The FCPS Support & Advocacy Team of Rise Up Frederick is dedicated to protecting and strengthening Frederick County Public Schools through informed policy engagement, support for educators and students, and promotion of candidates who champion public education. We believe that thriving public schools are the foundation of a strong democracy and a just society, and that ALL students and staff deserve to be included, safe, and supported. As part of Rise Up Frederick, we mobilize local voices to ensure equity, excellence, and accountability in our school system.
The priorities of the Frederick County Public Schools working committee for 2026 will be two-fold:
The upcoming primary (June 23, 2026) and the election (Nov. 3, 2026) for new school board members, when four of seven seats will be up for election. Policy topics related to candidates and their stances will also be part of this focus.
