Pursuant to the Maryland Education Code, the Board of Garrett County Commissioners “shall appoint a qualified individual to fill any vacancy in an elected member’s position on the [elected Board of Education] for the remainder of the term and until a successor is elected and qualifies”.
Following the resignation of Cody Brill in November, The Board of Garrett County Commissioners has appointed Sadie Liller to serve as a board member of the Garrett County Board of Education. Ms. Liller will complete the unexpired term of office for previous elected position of Dr. Matthew Paugh through November 2026.
Garrett County Commissioner Larry Tichnell expressed strong confidence in Liller’s ability to offer excellent leadership to the students, faculty, and administration of the Garrett County Public School System. Tichnell also noted Liller’s drug prevention education experience of over 22 years.
“Sadie’s background is a great match for the Board of Education,” said Commissioner Tichnell.
Ms. Liller currently serves as the Coordinator of Special Programs at the Garrett County Health Department and holds a position as a Parenting Instructor at Garrett College. Motivated by a desire to apply her drug prevention background, Sadie aims to evaluate existing policies for staff and students.
Liller will attend the Garrett County Board of Education’s next scheduled Public Meeting on January 9, 2024.
