State administration of Maryland public schools was attempted in 1825 and again in 1865 under a
State Superintendent of Public Instruction. The General Assembly; however, did not establish the State
Board of Education until 1870 (Chapter 311, Acts of 1870). The Board sets policy for the public school
system and enacts the bylaws and regulations that govern it (Code Education Article, secs. 2-201 through
2-205). The Board also considers and mediates disputes arising from the twenty-four local independent
school districts in Maryland. The Board, often through the office of the State Superintendent of Schools,
consults and advises county boards of education, county superintendents and their staffs, principals, and
teachers. Appointed by the Governor, the State Board of Education is composed often members. Nine
are appointed to five-year terms, and a nonvoting student member serves a one-year term.

With the advice and counsel of the State Superintendent of Schools and the staff of the State
Department of Education, the Board prescribes basic policy and guidelines for instruction in public
schools. The Board, with the State Superintendent's advice and counsel, also sets the standards for
certification of teachers and other professional personnel employed in Maryland schools. If local school
districts do not comply with State standards, the Board and the State Superintendent are empowered to
recommend the withholding of State funds from those districts.

Educational matters affecting the State and the general care and supervision of public education are
entrusted to the State Department of Education. Headed by the State Board of Education, the
Department was established in 1916 (Chapter 506, Acts of 1916). It became a principal department of
State government in 1976 (Chapter 539, Acts of 1976).

The State Department of Education consists of the State Superintendent of Schools, appointed by the
State Board of Education, and the professional staff employed by the Board to assist the Superintendent.

The Department was reorganized in 1988 into three Bureaus: Educational Support; Educational
Development; and Vocational Rehabilitation and Correctional Education. Also within the Department
are the Education Coordinating Council for Correctional Institutions, the Education Coordinating
Council for State Hospital Centers and Juvenile Institutions, Maryland Advisory Council on Libraries,
the Attendant Care Program Advisory Committee, and the Rehabilitation and Employment Commission.
