Lohnes to Serve on Governor’s Career and Technology Education Task Force

Marjorie Lohnes, Supervisor of Career and Technology Education for Carroll County Public Schools, has been appointed by Governor Martin O’Malley as a member of the Career and Technology Education Task Force.

The charge of the Task Force is to create an action plan designed to expand the career and technology education programs that prepare students for entry into post-secondary education, apprenticeships and a career where there is current and future employer demand. Priority will be given to expanding programs that support critical infrastructure needs such as construction, health and biosciences, manufacturing, information technology, and consumer services; particularly those vital to industries related to Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).

Lohnes began her career in education in Carroll County as a teacher. She has served as Supervisor of Career and Technology Education since 1991.
