Watershed Board of Directors

---

Watershed Public Charter School operates as a non-profit public benefit organization and therefore has a governing board, the Board of Directors. Board members receive no compensation other than reimbursement of actual expenses incurred while fulfilling duties as a member of such a board. The Watershed Board is responsible for oversight of all aspects of school and community operations and ensures that the Watershed mission and vision are followed by our Charter Agreement with the Board of Education. With the Baltimore County Board of Education's unanimous vote to renew Watershed's charter for 5 years, the Board's current focus is the expansion of our current board membership, and the addition of the middle school building.

 Watershed Board meetings are on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 6:00 PM EDT. Please find the 2025-2026 board meeting schedule below.  Board Meetings held virtually can be accessed by the following Google Meet Code.
