State Board of Education – Enforcement Procedures – Alteration

HB 966 sets a 90-day maximum timeframe for appeals regarding county board decisions to remove a county superintendent or county board member. It directly affects county school boards, superintendents, and the State Board of Education by requiring their established appeals process to resolve such cases within 90 days. Exceptions allow extensions if due process demands it or if the State Board determines an extension is necessary for public health or safety. The bill amends Maryland’s education code to add this specific deadline to the State Board’s enforcement procedures.
