Board Meetings

The Washington County Board of Education is currently following standard procedures for public meetings. The next public work session will be held on Tuesday, April 2, at 3:00 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Center for Education Services, located at 10435 Downsville Pike in Hagerstown.

The Board of Education supports public comment and participation at public business meetings. Community members are encouraged, but not required, to sign up in advance to speak during the public comment portion of the meeting. Individuals will speak in the order in which they are signed up. Speakers can sign up by contacting Debra A. Cechovic, Secretary to the Board of Education, by calling 301-766-2971. Callers should leave a message with their name and a callback phone number. Please note a public comment period is not included during Board of Education work sessions. 

In accordance with Board Policy KD, each speaker may speak for up to five (5) minutes. Speakers should introduce themselves, identify whether they are speaking as individuals or on behalf of an organization, and may provide a copy of their comments for further consideration by the Board members. Speakers may address any topic concerning Washington County Public Schools, except personnel or student matters that clearly identify an individual or individuals.
