The Charles County school system (CCPS) is a public school system run by the publicly-elected Charles County Board of Education and is funded by Charles County, Maryland through taxpayer money allocated by the Charles County Board of Commissioners.

Located south of Washington, D.C., in Charles County, Maryland, CCPS is one of the fastest growing school systems in Maryland. The mission of CCPS is to provide an opportunity for all school-aged children to receive an academically challenging, quality education that builds character, equips for leadership and prepares for life, in an environment that is safe and conducive to learning.[1]

Board of education

An eight-member elected board of education serves the educational needs and interests of Charles County. The board is made up of 1 at-large member, 8 board members and 1 student member. The board establishes educational and fiscal policy, provides overall direction and governs Charles County Public Schools. Board members serve four-year terms. The Student Board member serves a one-year term, unless otherwise noted. The next election for all Board Members, as well as the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson, is in November 2026, while the next election for the At-Large member is in November 2028.[2]

Following legislation passed in the 2021 Maryland General Assembly Regular Session, the board of education will consist of 10 members following the 2022 Maryland gubernatorial election. The school board will have 1 at-large member, 2 members from each commissioner district (8 total), and 1 voting student member. The student member gained a vote in all matters except capital and operating budgets, personnel decisions, and a few other minor exclusions. The legislation also restricted board members to serving no more than 3 consecutive terms.[3]
