PUBLIC INSTRUCTION IS THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND SECRETARY OF
THE BOARD OF SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS.

UNLESS HIS TENURE OR SALARY OR THE ADMINISTRATION OF
HIS OFFICE IS UNDER CONSIDERATION, THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT

THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT MAY ADVISE ON ANY QUESTION

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as Art.
77, §39.

The only changes are in style.

In this section and throughout this article, the

are substituted for "county superintendent of
schools" and "county board of education"
respectively, in light of the definitions of
"county superintendent" and "county board" in
§1-101 of this article.

Although this section applies to Baltimore City,
the Baltimore City Charter does not provide for a
treasurer of the Board of School Commissioners as
fiscal matters are handled by the Board of
Estimates. Legislation to remedy this situation
appears to be needed.
