State Board of Education until 1870 (Ch. 311, Acts of 1870). The
Board, composed of seven members appointed by the Governor for
staggered seven-year terms, makes policy for the public school system
and. passes the by-laws and. regulations that govern it (Code 1957, Art.
77, sees. 2, 5, 19-24, 27, 29, 32, 36).

Schools for a four-year term. He directs the State Department of
Education and executes the policy and enforces the regulations
adopted by the Board (Code 1957, Art. 77, sees. 37-39). The State
Department of Education consists of the State Superintendent of
