Ruling Clears
Way for Bill
In 81 Session
BY GENE GOODWIN


The Maryland attorney gen.
erals office has ruled that there
is no constitutional prohibition
against staggered terms on Mont
gomery County's elected school
board.
AS a result. a bill will be in
Itroduced in the 1857 Legislature
to provide for staggered terms,
Blair Lee III. Montgomery Coun-
ty legislative delegation chair.
man. said today.
1t had been generally thought
that the only way Montgomery
County could put its school
board members on a staggered
term basis would be by amending
the State constitution, a cumber-
some process requiring approval
in Statewide referendum.
The board and the Mont
gomery County Civic Federation
had asked the Montgomery law
makers to introduce a bill in the
coming session proposing such
an amendment. However, Charles
w. Prettyman. board counsel,
had told the board he felt the
change could be made by a
simple amendment to existing
law without changing the con-
Stitution.
Not County Officer
Mr.. Lee decided TO put the
question up to the attorney gem
erals Office.
He said today he had received
an opinion written by Alexander
Harvey II, assistant attorney
general, which states that school
board members are not county
officers" within the meaning Of
the constitution.
Therefore, a bill providing for
staggered terms would not be
prohibited by provisions of Ar
ticle IT, Section /, of the con-
Istitution, the opinion held.
That section provides that "all
county officers elected by quail
fled voters shall hold Office for
terms of four years :"
The opinion said school board
members are mot governmental
agents of the county in whom a
part of the authority delegated
by the State to the county has
been individually vested"
Function as Board
Or, as Mr.. Prettyman put 1t,
School board members have no
individual authority-they can
only function as a board"
1t was this section OF the con-
stitution that had been held as
prohibiting staggered terms when
the law providing for Mont
gomery's unique elected school
board was passed in 1851 and
approved in a referendum the
following year.
All other Maryland counties
have school boards appointed by
the Governor. Members serve
for six-year terms on a staggered
basis
The Montgomery law provides
for all seven school board MEM
bers to be elected on a nom
partisan basis every four years.
starting in 1854. Thirteen can
didates ran for the seven seats
in that first election of the full
board two years ago.
Assures Continuity
Proponents of staggered terms
argue that 1t would be less con-
fusing for the voters to have
fewer board seats TO fill and II
would provide for a continuity
that is not assured under the
existing system.

to also extend the terms TO six

This will be run after the
