LEONARDTOWN, Md. – St. Mary’s County Government is encouraging residents to consider applying for vacancies on the Accountability and Implementation Board (AIB), the state-level body charged with oversight of the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future education plan. Applications are due by 5 p.m. on June 12, 2025.
The Blueprint for Maryland’s Future, passed by the Maryland General Assembly in 2021, is a decade-long initiative to transform public education in Maryland. The AIB, a seven-member board appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate, plays a critical role in holding state and local governments accountable for implementing the Blueprint and achieving its goals. State law requires that the AIB consists of individuals who collectively have a high level of knowledge and expertise in the following areas:
- Early education through secondary education policy
- Post-secondary education policy
- Teaching in public schools
- Strategies used by top-performing state and national education systems in the world
- Leading and implementing systemic change in complex organizations
- Financial auditing and accounting
“The Blueprint for Maryland’s Future will have a significant impact on every corner of our state, and it’s essential that voices from St. Mary’s County and other rural areas are represented,” said Commissioner President, Randy Guy. “I strongly encourage members of our community with a passion for education and public service to apply.”
