The State Department of Public Welfare is responsible for the
supervision, direction and control of the four State training schools.
In developing the program within each training school, including
provision for after-care supervision, the Department establishes rules
and regulations, standards of care, policies of admission, transfer and
discharge, and may order changes in the policies, conduct or manage-
ment of the four State training schools. Subject to these limitations,
each of the schools is under the general management of its Board of
Managers. The Governor appoints members for staggered terms of
three years, so arranged that the terms of at least two members
expire June I of each year. Members are eligible for reappointment
to an additional term or terms, but not immediately succeeding the
second term (Code 1947 Supp. Art. 88A, sec. 18)..
