Board of Education

BOE members. Back row L-R: Jana Post, Antoine White, Dawn Balinski. Front row: Lisa Grenis, Dr. Townsel, Inez Claggett.

School Boards are governed by state law and must carry out that law. This responsibility includes establishing the policies by which local schools are governed. In addition, the Board is tasked with representing the public’s voice in public education and setting standards for achievement. Calvert County Board of Education members are elected for a four-year term. As representatives of their communities, school board members mirror the diverse democracies they serve. Local control of education through the Board of Education has made it possible for schools to enable students to fulfill their potential.

The Board holds two meetings per month except for December, June, July and August where only one meeting is held. The meetings are scheduled on Thursdays. The dates are set taking into consideration holidays and school closings. The meetings can be found on the CCPS calendar, and there is an opportunity for public comments at the monthly business meeting.

Other special meetings and hearings are scheduled on an as need basis. Administrative and/or Closed sessions are not open to the public as permitted by the Maryland Open Meetings Act, Section 3-305(b) of the General Provisions Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland and Section 3-103 of the General Provisions Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland.

Meetings are held in the Board Room of the Brooks Administrative Building at 1305 Dares Beach Road in Prince Frederick, Maryland. For additional questions or comments, email Karen Maxey at maxeyk@calvertcounty.education or call at 443-550-8006.
