A Message from President Cheryl Bost
As we emerge what most educators proclaim to be the hardest 12 months of their profession, I’m hopeful. These stay difficult instances, however it’s via the power of our union, our collective voices, and our collective energy that we’ve got and can proceed to persevere.
I’m hopeful that with this power we’ll elect a pro-public schooling governor. That begins with a powerful turnout within the major this summer time. We search for a governor who will really put public schooling first and never hinder the progress the Blueprint guarantees. And we search for somebody who’s real, who received’t minimize funding or veto payments then declare victory when they’re pressured to proper their fallacious. Somebody who received’t vilify educators and unions however as an alternative listens. We’re ready to elect our subsequent schooling governor and make sure that educators have a seat on the desk.
Elections matter! Elections influence your profession, your paycheck, your rights, and the insurance policies and packages that assist college students. MSEA is proud to face with Wes Moore for governor and Aruna Miller for lieutenant governor. Wes is the schooling governor we want and the one our college students deserve.
The voice of MSEA members issues. Collectively we will elevate our trusted and highly effective voices throughout this state to elect Wes and Aruna, Brooke Lierman as comptroller, Anthony Brown as legal professional common,
senators, delegates, county executives, and regionally endorsed county council and board of schooling members all through Maryland. We’re sturdy, however we take nothing as a right. We should flip up the amount—there’s simply an excessive amount of at stake.
Be part of me in canvassing, telephone banking, and speaking to household and buddies! Go to MDappleballot.com to get pro-public schooling candidates elected!

Maryland Supreme Court reinstates Adnan Syed murder conviction, orders new hearing
BALTIMORE— Maryland’s Supreme Court has upheld an appellate court’s decision to reinstate the murder conviction of Adnan Syed, whose case gained national attention in 2014 when it was featured on the first season of the “Serial” podcast.
The ruling says the case should be sent back to a lower court for a new hearing on whether it should be thrown out entirely. The decision reverses a lower court’s ruling that had cleared Syed’s name two years ago.
Syed had served more than 20 years for the 1999 murder of his ex-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee.
He was freed from prison in September 2022 after Baltimore prosecutors found flaws in the evidence presented at trial and a judge agreed to vacate his conviction.
However, Lee’s relatives appealed the decision, contending they didn’t receive sufficient notice to attend the hearing that set Syed free. In March 2023, the Maryland Appellate Court agreed and reinstated Syed’s conviction and ordered a redo of the hearing.
Syed appealed that ruling, bringing the matter to the Maryland Supreme Court. Friday’s ruling comes 11 months after arguments were made.
Justices found the circuit court violated the rights of Young Lee, Hae Min Lee’s brother.
“In an effort to remedy what they perceived to be an injustice to Mr. Syed, the prosecutor and the Circuit Court worked an injustice against Mr. Lee,” the court said.
Syed will remain free until the next hearing which has not been scheduled. The Supreme Court ordered the Lee family must have sufficient notice of the new hearing and a new judge must preside.
“If there’s actually evidence presented that shows that Adnan Syed should not have been convicted, we would be the first ones to congratulate Adnan Syed and argue he should be a free man,” said David Sanford, the attorney for the Lee family. “That hasn’t happened yet.”
In their dissenting opinions, several justices wrote when the case was vacated, any appeal by Young Lee should’ve been rendered moot. Those justices also argued there aren’t any specific victims’ rights that would require Young Lee be allowed to be present at that 2022 hearing.
Syed’s lawyer Erica Suter said that while they disagree with the ruling, the Lee family’s pain in this isn’t lost on them.
“Wrongful convictions devastate the wrongly accused, their family and the family of the victim,” Suter said. “Reinstating Adnan’s wrongful conviction does not provide justice or closure.”
Rabia Chaudry, Syed’s friend and advocate, went on Instagram Live to affirm that she will do what she can to keep Syed a free man.
“I will never not fight for his freedom and I know there are others, also, in his life who will never not fight for his freedom,” Chaudry said.
