Baltimore County - Inspector General - Authority Over Baltimore County Public Schools

SB 15 would allow Baltimore County's County Council to pass a local law granting the County Inspector General (IG) oversight authority over Baltimore County Public Schools, similar to the IG's current authority over county government departments. This change would take effect starting in 2027, but only if the County Council enacts the specific local law. The bill does not automatically transfer authority; it merely enables the County Council to do so through a future local law. The Inspector General's existing authority over county departments would serve as the model for potential school system oversight.
