Charles County Public Schools (CCPS) is seeking volunteers to serve on its calendar committee. Volunteers must be able to attend in-person meetings twice per month on Wednesdays from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Jesse L. Starkey Administration Building, starting Feb. 4. The Starkey building is located at 5980 Radio Station Road in La Plata.
The committee will review and work on calendar options for the 2027-2028 school year. Committee recommendations are shared among CCPS leadership for feedback, and then presented to Superintendent of Schools Maria V. Navarro, Ed.D., for review. Superintendent Navarro will then present calendar options for review and approval by the Board of Education of Charles County.
The committee will include parent, student and staff volunteers, as well as additional stakeholders such as CCPS administrative and instructional staff. Representatives from the Education Association of Charles County (EACC) and American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) unions will also be asked to participate.
Parents, students and staff interested in participating on the committee must complete the interest form linked below. Deadline to complete the form is noon, Friday, Jan. 30.
