The Interagency Committee for Public School
Construction was established under the "Rules,
Regulations, and Procedures for the Administration
of the School Construction Program," first adopted
by the Board of Public Works on June 29, 1971, in
accordance with Education Article, sec. 5-301.
Thereunder, the full responsibility for the State
supervision of school construction activities was
assigned to a tri-agency committee composed of
the State Superintendent of Schools, the Secretary
of the Department of State Planning, and the
Secretary of the Department of General Services.
This committee is known as the Interagency
Committee for School Construction with the
State Superintendent of Schools serving as
chairperson.
Each of the three participating agencies
furnishes staff to the committee. The Executive
and Deputy Directors are appointed by and work
under the direction of the committee.
Each school system in the State submits to the
Interagency Committee by October 15 of each
year its capital improvement program for the fol-
lowing fiscal year, plus an updated continuing
five-year plan.
The committee either approves, defers, or
modifies a school system's proposal in consultation
with local school board staff. The committee
submits with recommendations a consolidated
statewide capital improvement program to the
Board of Public Works, which acts at a special
public meeting in February, The bond authoriza-
tion or loan responding to the approved allocations
is made by the Maryland General Assembly.
The appropriations for the expense of adminis-
trative operations are included in the annual
budgets of the Board of Public Works, the State
