Petition for Maryland School Superintendents to be Elected by the People


Petition for Maryland School Superintendents to be Elected by the People
The Issue
The Superintendent of Schools in both the State of Maryland as well as throughout Maryland counties are kept in office by the vote of their Board of Education members. As a result, each Superintendent of Schools can be kept in office indefinitely, regardless of his/her performance or the opinion of the citizens. The citizens of Maryland petition the State of Maryland to change the legislation to do the following:
1. AMEND THE MARYLAND STATE LEGISLATION SO THAT BOTH THE STATE AND COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS BECOME AN ELECTED POSITION BY THE CITIZENS, AND NO LONGER UNDER THE ELECTIVE AUTHORITY OF THE BOARD MEMBERS OF EACH STATE AND COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION.
