A centralized administration of the Maryland public schools was
attempted in 1865, but the General Assembly did not establish the
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 1967,
1969 Repl. Vol., Art. 77, sees. 2-22).
The State Board of Education appoints the State Superintendent of
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 1957,1969 Repl. Vol., Art. 77, sees. 23-33).
The State Department of Education consists of the State Superin-
tendent of Schools and the professional staff employed by the Board
to assist him. The Department has nine divisions (Code 1957, 1969
Repl. Vol., 1970 Supp., Art. 77, sees. 30, 32).
Division of Instruction
The Division of Instruction provides leadership in planning and
supervising education for children and adults in the public schools of
the State. Supervisory and instructional services ore available in all
subject matter areas, general curriculum, special education for the
handicapped, and pupil services. The Division initiates and supports
the development of curriculum guides and certain visual aids; it
encourages good educational practices through workshops, consultant
services, and demonstrations. It maintains a curriculum center to
serve all schools in the State. The Division also assumes leadership in
the development of programs under Federal funding for local units,
and specifically administers programs under Title II-B of the Federal
Adult Basic Education Program, Title IV of the Civil Rights Act,
Title VI of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, Title V-B
of the National Defense Education Act (Code 1957, 1969 Repl. Vol.,
Art. 77, sees. 8, 14-27), and the Civil Defense Adult Education
Program.
Division of Administration and Finance
The services of the Division of Administration and Finance include
in the offices of the Superintendent and Deputy Superintendent those
of legal services, departmental planning, and informational services;
the office of administrative services composed of budgeting, legisla-
tive services, State aid, food service, school facilities planning, and
safety and planning; the office of fiscal management and services
including accounting, auditing, and scholarship determination and
enforcement; and publications and personnel administration.
The office of Administrative Services prepares the annual State
public school and departmental budgets. The office of Fiscal Manage-
ment distributes the funds made available to the local school systems
by the State and Federal governments and provides auditing and
fiscal advice (Code 1957, 1969 Repl. Vol., 1970 Supp., Art. 77, sees. 17,
19,92-94,123-132).
