STATE COORDINATING COUNCIL

Chair: Richard J. Steinke, designee of State
Superintendent of Schools
Donjuan L. Williams, Executive Director
(410) 767-6229

In 1982, the State Coordinating Council was
formed by the Governor as the State Coordinating
Council for Residential Placement of Handicapped
Children (Executive Order 01.01.1982.09). The Gov-
ernor reestablished the Council within the Office for
Handicapped Individuals in 1987 (Executive Order
01 01.1987.10). The Council was transferred to the
Office for Children, Youth, and Families in 1990
(Chapter 419, Acts of 1990), In 1993, the Council
received its present name (Chapter 556, Acts of 1993).
The Council has developed procedures for Local
Coordinating Councils to ensure that children with
disabilities in residential placement receive a com-
plete plan of care. With the Local Coordinating
Councils, the State Coordinating Council monitors
services for children with disabilities who may need
or are in residential placement. It also maintains an
information system that assures agency account-
ability to children with disabilities and enables the
State to plan for needed services.
Seven members constitute the State Coordinat-
ing Council. Six serve ex officio. One is a nonvoting
member (Code 1957, Art. 49D, secs. 13-20).

CHILDREN'S COUNCILS
Children's Councils exist in each county and
Baltimore City. They evaluate local public and pri-
vate programs, services, and plans for children;
analyze departmental plans and budgets affecting
these programs and services; and review the use and
availability of federal. State, local and private funds.
The Councils advise their local government and the
Office for Children, Youth, and Families on needs,
resources, and priorities. They also provide infor-
mation on children's programs and services.
Each Council is appointed by the chief executive
officer of the county. For Baltimore City, appoint-
ments are made by the Mayor. Members serve
three-year terms (Code 1957, Art. 49D, sec. 5).
