The Maryland School for the Deaf was established
at Frederick in 1868 (Chapter 247, Acts of 1867;
Chapter 409, Acts of 1868). It is a free public residen-
tial school for deaf and hard-of-hearing children who
reside in Maryland. Authorized in 1968, the Columbia
campus of the Maryland School for the Deaf opened
in September 1973 (Chapter 462, Acts of 1968).
At the Frederick and Columbia campuses, the
School offers an academic education similar to that of
public schools. The School also teaches communica-
tions skills, including speech and speech reading, signs
and finger spelling, and auditory training; and use of
individual hearing aids. In addition to the academic
program, vocational education also is provided. The
School offers a broad athletic and physical education
program, as well as social and recreational activities.
Vocational rehabilitation services are available for all
graduating students to help secure employment, vo-
cational or technical training, or higher education.
In 1992, the School's Board of Visitors was
reorganized as the Board of Trustees of the Mary-
land School for the Deaf (Chapter 493, Acts of
1992). The Board governs the School. With Senate
advice and consent, the Governor appoints the
Board's nineteen members to six-year terms (Code
Education Article, sec. 8-304).
