Councilmember Craig Rice to Receive Cornerstone Award for Education and Leadership

The Metropolitan Kappa Youth Foundation will award Councilmember Craig Rice the Cornerstone Award for Education and Leadership at the Annual Black and White Scholarship Gala on June 8.

Councilmember Rice is committed to making the county’s education budget process transparent. He organized Education Budget Forums throughout the County from 2015 through 2017 to provide information and to get public feedback.

As part of Maryland Commission on Innovation and Excellence in Education, Rice helped lead the first major review of State education funding in over a  decade.

Rice has chaired the Education Committee since 2013 and been a member of the Health and Human Services Committee since 2010.

The Metropolitan Kappa Youth Foundation‘s mission is to provide scholarships and mentoring programs for minority and disadvantaged youth in the DC area.

“I am honored to have Metropolitan Kappa Youth Foundation recognize my work and ongoing commitment to ensuring all students are afforded the resources and opportunities needed for them to succeed,” Rice said.
