SMCPS Board of Education
For many current residents, history was made in December 1996, when the county-elected
school Board took the helm, ending a long tradition of operating under an appointed
Board. The Board is comprised of five members and a nonvoting student representative.
The Board of Education of St. Mary's County represents the concerns and needs of
the public in the governance of the St. Mary's County Public Schools. The Board
establishes specific policies that govern school system operations and has authority
over fiscal year budgets, curriculum materials, textbooks, personnel appointments,
capital improvements, land acquisitions, grant applications, and other policy decisions.
In addition to selecting and appointing the Superintendent of Schools, the Board
also employs legal counsel and external auditors.
