School Administration & Instructional Leadership

Currently, Frederick County is home to 38 elementary schools, 13 middle schools, 10 high schools, 4 public charter schools, an alternative school, a special education school, Frederick County Virtual School (FCVS), and a Career and Technology Center (CTC). Finally, FCPS has numerous specialized programs serving students with disabilities. School Administration and Instructional Leadership (SAIL) provides direct oversight to all school leaders with the schools and programs they serve. Support to the schools includes supervision, coaching, and professional learning in the Professional Standards for Education Leaders (PSELS) which promote strong instructional leadership and management in all schools. Extensive support of school improvement and accountability is included in this work, along with oversight of Title I funding and Community Schools.
