The Interagency Committee on School Con-
struction was established in 1971 (Code Education
Article, sec. 5-301). The responsibility for State
supervision of public school construction activities
is assigned to this tri-agency committee, with the
State Superintendent of Schools serving as
chairperson.

By December 7, each school system in the State
annually submits to the Interagency Committee
its capital improvement program for the following
fiscal year, plus an updated continuing five-year
plan. In consultation with local school board staff,
the Committee either approves, defers, or modifies
a school system's proposal. The Committee sub-
mits a consolidated statewide capital improvement
program with recommendations to the Board of
Public Works, which acts at a special public meet-
ing each January. The bond authorization or loan
for approved allocations is made by the General
Assembly.

Appropriations for the expense of administra-
tive operations are included in the annual budgets
of the Board of Public Works, the State Depart-
ment of Education, the Department of State Plan-
ning, and the Department of General Services.

Each of the three participating Departments
furnishes staff to the Committee. The Executive
Director is appointed by and works under the di-
rection of the Committee. The Executive Director
and the business operations staff are employees of
the Board of Public Works.

School Construction Program, 1971-1981, is avail-
