Board of education

edit

An eight-member elected board of education serves the educational needs and interests of Charles County. The board is made up of 7 at-large members and 1 student member. The board establishes educational and fiscal policy, provides overall direction and governs Charles County Public Schools. Board members serve four-year terms. The Student Board member serves a one-year term. The next election is in November 2022.[6]

Following legislation passed in the 2021 Maryland General Assembly Regular Session, the board of education will consist of 10 members following the 2022 Maryland gubernatorial election. The school board will have 1 at-large member, 2 members from each commissioner district (8 total), and 1 voting student member. The student member gained a vote in all matters except capital and operating budgets, personnel decisions, and a few other minor exclusions. The legislation also restricted board members to serving no more than 3 consecutive terms.[7]
