County Superintendent of Prince George's County - Selection Process - Alteration PG 506-25

HB 369 changes how Prince George's County selects its public school superintendent. It replaces the current process - where the County Executive appoints the superintendent - with a new requirement that the County Board of Education must select the superintendent from a list of candidates after negotiating contract terms. The bill amends Maryland law to specify that the superintendent is "selected" by the Board (not appointed by the Executive), with the Board needing a majority vote. This directly affects the County Board of Education, the superintendent position, and the Prince George's County public school system's leadership structure. The change takes effect July 1, 2025.
