Board meetings

How to check PGCPS Board meetings, agendas, BoardDocs and archived videos

The official Open Board of Education page is the main source for Board meeting resources. It links to upcoming Board meetings and events, live and archived videos, Board of Education policies, proposed policy comments, BoardDocs/Diligent, Board committees, advisory groups, and board-related quicklinks.

The official Upcoming Events page says Board of Education meetings are now in person at the Sasscer Administration Building. Public hearings and committee meetings remain virtual, and users can click the meeting information below for the virtual meeting link. This means you should not assume every Board-related event uses the same format.

The Open Live and Archived Board Videos page links to the Board meeting calendar, BoardDocs on Diligent for agendas and related documents, YouTube live stream, and archived Board of Education meeting videos. Use that page when you want to watch a meeting or find video documentation.

1

Open the Board of Education page

Start from the official PGCPS Board page instead of a reposted calendar item or old agenda.

2

Check the meeting format

Confirm whether it is an in-person Board meeting, virtual public hearing, virtual committee meeting, or other Board event.

3

Open BoardDocs or Diligent

Use BoardDocs/Diligent for the calendar, agendas, meeting documents, and public comment attachments.

4

Use video links for viewing

Use the live stream or archived video links when watching from home or reviewing prior meetings.

Meeting caution: Board meeting details, virtual links, public hearing format, committee meeting access, agenda documents, and public comment procedures can change. Always confirm through the official Board of Education page before attending or speaking.

Public comments

Public comment registration, testimony deadline and speaker limits

The official Open Public Participation Page explains how community members can provide comments to the Prince George’s County Board of Education. PGCPS says the Board allows 45 minutes for public comment at each regularly scheduled Board of Education meeting.

According to the official page, community members may provide comments for review during Board meetings, including live testimony, written testimony, pre-recorded video, or audio recording. Registration for live testimony, written testimony, pre-recorded video, and audio recordings is accepted until noon on the day of the meeting. Registrants are taken on a first-come, first-served basis.

The page says the maximum number of speakers shall not exceed fifteen because 45 minutes are allotted, and all testimony must not exceed three minutes. The page also asks speakers to use titles instead of individual names when referring to others, avoid vulgar remarks or personal attacks, and include only the name and date of the Board meeting at the top of testimony without other personal contact information.

⏰ Noon deadline

Registration for testimony is accepted until noon on the day of the meeting.

🎤 Three minutes

All testimony must not exceed three minutes in duration.

👥 Fifteen speakers

PGCPS says the maximum number of speakers shall not exceed fifteen because 45 minutes are allotted.

👀 Observation

You do not need to sign up just to observe the meeting.

Board members

Current Prince George’s County Board members, districts and SMOB

The official Open Board Members Page lists current Prince George’s County Board of Education members, districts, emails, and the shared Board office phone number. It currently lists Branndon D. Jackson as Chair for District 6 and Jonathan Briggs as Vice Chair for District 2.

The official members page also lists Tiffini Andorful for District 1, Pamela Boozer-Strother for District 3, Aimee Olivo for District 4, Robin Brown for District 5, Phelton C. Moss for District 7, Zakyia Goins-McCants for District 8, Chandrai “CJ” Jackson-Saunders for District 9, and Erioluwa Ajakaye as Student Member of the Board.

Board membership, roles, emails, and districts can change after elections, appointments, student member transitions, or official updates. Use the official members page before emailing a board member, publishing a member name, or using district-specific contact information.

👤 Chair

Branndon D. Jackson is listed as Chair, District 6.

👥 Vice Chair

📍 District lookup

Board office

Prince George’s County Board office address, phone, fax and email

The official Board of Education page lists the Board office at the Sasscer Administration Building, 14201 School Lane, Upper Marlboro, MD 20772. The Board office phone is 301-952-6115, and the fax number is 301-952-6114.

PGCPS also lists the district’s main Sasscer Administration Building contact as 14201 School Lane, Upper Marlboro, MD 20772, with main district phone 301-952-6000. General inquiries to the Board of Education should be sent to boardofeducation@pgcps.org.

If your question is about a specific student, attendance note, class, bus stop, school meal, transcript, registration document, or school-level problem, the fastest route is usually the school page, department page, ParentVUE, or official PGCPS contact page rather than emailing the full Board first.

Schools

School directory, school finder and campus-specific contact help

The official Open School Directory page helps users find school pages. PGCPS also provides a Open School Finder tool to find preschool, elementary, middle, and high school options for an address.

The PGCPS Contact page says school directory information about school uniforms, supply lists, absence notes, and who to contact for issues can be found on school websites. That means a school page is usually the best source for local school information, not the main Board page.

Use individual school pages for attendance notes, school supply lists, uniforms, staff contacts, nurse information, parent resources, student resources, bus information, school announcements, and campus events. Use School Finder when the question is address-based, boundary-based, or school assignment related.

🧭 School Finder

Use the address-based School Finder to identify school options for a specific address.

🏫 School Directory

Use the directory to open campus pages and school-specific resources.

📝 Absence notes

School websites often include absence note forms and campus-specific contact instructions.

🎒 Supplies and uniforms

Use school pages for uniforms, supply lists, back-to-school notices, and local expectations.

Registration

PGCPS registration, ParentVUE, neighborhood school and specialty program paths

The official Open Registration / Enrollment page is the right starting point when enrolling a student in PGCPS. The page separates enrollment by school or program, enrollment by grade, enrollment for special situations, and online registration or student ID requests.

PGCPS says students in grades K-12 have a guaranteed seat at the general education program in their neighborhood school. Specialty programs are themed educational programs available by an application or lottery process during certain time periods each year.

The official ParentVUE support page explains that a PGCPS ParentVUE account is needed to complete the required Online Registration application for students who are new to PGCPS, transferring within the county, or returning to PGCPS. Use the district-linked ParentVUE page only and avoid unofficial login pages.

1

Open Registration / Enrollment

Start from the official PGCPS page so you follow the correct school-year process.

2

Use School Finder

Confirm address-based school options before assuming a neighborhood school.

3

Use ParentVUE

Use ParentVUE for online registration when required by PGCPS.

4

Check specialty timelines

Specialty programs, charter lottery, CTE, and application programs have specific windows and rules.

Transportation

Bus stop finder, StopFinder, Chipmunk app and transportation updates

The official Open Transportation page is the main PGCPS transportation resource. PGCPS pages link to bus stop information, StopFinder, Transportation FAQs, transportation help systems, and the newer Chipmunk app information.

PGCPS transportation pages say StopFinder allows parents, guardians, and caregivers to view information about a child’s bus schedule, where the child’s bus is, and receive notifications. PGCPS also notes testing and phased rollout for the Chipmunk parent app, which includes live map view and custom alerts when available for a student’s route.

Bus service, bus stops, transportation eligibility, and app availability can be student-specific and route-specific. Use ParentVUE, the official transportation page, School Finder, and the current PGCPS bus information tools rather than guessing from a map or using old postcards.

🚌 Bus routes

Use official transportation tools and ParentVUE for student-specific route information.

📱 StopFinder

PGCPS uses StopFinder to provide bus schedule and notification information to families.

🐿️ Chipmunk

PGCPS is rolling out Chipmunk in phases for bus tracking features on eligible routes.

⚠️ Address-specific

School assignment and transportation eligibility can depend on a specific address and student record.

Meals and records

School meals, duplicate diplomas, transcripts and student records

PGCPS quick links and school pages direct families to school meals, ParentVUE, registration, bus information, and student support resources. Use official PGCPS school meals links from the district website, school pages, or calendar quick links before checking menus, meal payments, or school nutrition details.

The PGCPS footer links include “How to Order a Duplicate Diploma” and “How to Order a Student Transcript.” These are separate from Board meeting records and public comment pages. If you need a transcript, diploma, student record, or verification, use official records links and do not submit identity information through unofficial websites.

Student records, meals, transportation, and registration can involve private information. Use district-linked systems only and avoid third-party pages that ask for student IDs, health information, parent login details, payment information, or identity documents.

🍽️ Meals

Use official district and school meal links for menus, meal payment, and nutrition information.

📄 Transcripts

Use the official PGCPS transcript ordering link from the district footer or records resources.

🎓 Duplicate diploma

Use the official duplicate diploma ordering link from the district footer.

🔐 Privacy warning

Do not submit student records, IDs, payment data, or login information through unofficial pages.

Programs

Specialty programs, lottery, charter schools and application windows

The official Open PGCPS Specialty Programs page explains that PGCPS offers a variety of specialty program pathways, and application windows can open or close by school year. The page includes programs such as Visual and Performing Arts, Career and Technical Education, International Baccalaureate, Online Program, P-TECH, charter schools, Talent Ready, and other pathway options.

Some specialty programs are available only during certain application periods. Some require auditions, testing, continuity forms, lottery processes, residency eligibility, or grade-specific entry. Program locations are also subject to district needs and may be relocated as needs evolve.

Do not use a general Board meeting page to apply for a specialty program. Use the official PGCPS specialty program and application pages, read the current year instructions, and verify deadlines before submitting anything.

🎭 Specialty programs

Use official PGCPS application pages for program eligibility, audition, testing, lottery, and deadlines.

🏫 Charter lottery

Charter school lottery timelines and application rules are posted through official PGCPS program pages.

⏰ Windows close

Application windows are school-year specific and may already be closed for some programs.

📍 Location disclaimer

Specialty program locations may change based on district needs.

Policies and appeals

Board policies, appeals, proposed policy comments and ethics questions

The official Board of Education page links to Open Board of Education Policies, proposed policy comments, appeals, and Board ethics advisory resources. Use policy pages when your question is about official rules, not just a meeting date or a school announcement.

The Board page also includes appeal submission direction. It tells users filing an appeal with the Board to review relevant policies, including personnel appeals and student appeals, and complete the official appeal form with required documents.

Policy, appeal, ethics, and complaint matters can have formal procedures and deadlines. Use official PGCPS policy and Board pages before submitting documents, naming individuals, or relying on informal advice.

📜 Board policies

Use official Board policy pages for current policy language.

🧾 Appeals

Use official Board appeal links and required document instructions for appeals.

💬 Proposed policies

Use the proposed policy comment link when PGCPS invites input on developed or revised policies.

⚖️ Ethics questions

Use the Board Ethics Advisory Panel resources for ethics-related questions.

Fees and free info

You should not pay a third-party site to see the official school calendar, Board meeting calendar, Board members, Board policies, upcoming events, BoardDocs calendar, live stream, archived videos, school directory, school finder, registration guidance, transportation pages, ParentVUE support, district address, district phone number, or public comment instructions published by PGCPS.
