[quote=Anonymous]The school systems are a weird mix of state and local government, both for authority and funding. They function independently of the County's executive branch. They are an independent entity governed by their school board. But those board members are elected by County residents. I'd call them local government, but not in the traditional sense of the three branches of government. I think the topic of the interview matters most when trying to figure this out. School safety? Fine. School funding? Fine. Public transportation that helps kids get to school? Fine. Funding of the Strathmore so that 4th graders (or whomever they invite) for free concerts? Fine. Building a new jail in Rockville? That's a bit of a stretch. [/quote]
