Chair Lydell Fortune called the meeting to order, welcomed attendees in person and online, and read the Caroline County Public Schools governance norms, emphasizing student welfare, aligning decisions to the strategic plan, and that the chair (or designee) is the official voice of the board.
The Caroline County School Board met May 11, 2026, at Caroline Middle School to consider routine business, review division programs and budgets, approve a Head Start grant application, and hold a wide-ranging first read of proposed student code of conduct changes including a contentious proposal to allow pajama pants and a mask restriction. Board members also heard presentations on mental health supports, summer learning offerings, and federal grant draft applications.
