This session is designed to give board members a greater understanding of Maryland’s State Board of Education, how it operates, and the kinds of decisions it makes. You will observe the State Board of Education in its meeting on May 22 from 8:30 until the meeting is finished, and then have an opportunity to “debrief” with MABE staff over lunch. This Board Service Academy will be held from 8:30am-1:00pm at the MSDE Office in Baltimore. Directions will be sent to registered participants. Lunch will be provided in Conference Room 8 on the 8th floor of the MSDE office in Baltimore.
