What Is Required
Maryland requires the parent to submit the state consent form to the local superintendent at least 15 calendar days before beginning and verify continuation annually. The program must provide regular, thorough instruction in English, mathematics, science, social studies, art, music, health, and physical education. Families choose local-system portfolio review—normally twice yearly—or a registered supervising nonpublic/church entity. The companion includes pathway selection, consent/continuation, full subject plan, portfolio index, and review notes.
Tier 3 State Companion: Editable, parent-reviewable 36-week Curriculum Summary Draft with student and grade/year details, parent and instructor fields, four nine-week review/report dates, and subject-by-subject scope, sequence, objectives, resources, methods, and progress evidence. It also adds 15-day consent form checklist, required subjects, local portfolio-review or supervising-entity route, and review evidence. Parent review and submission remain required.

What Is Not Required
The guide separates mandatory steps from optional best practices and will not add a filing simply because a planner template exists.

Review and correct every generated field, confirm the current official source and local/pathway instructions, sign where appropriate, and submit any required notice, plan, report, evaluation, or other form yourself. K–5 Blueprint does not file on the family's behalf or guarantee agency acceptance.
