Because the lessons and quizzes of this class build upon each other, it is best to navigate them chronologically. You can exit the class and return at a later time, but this is best if done at the beginning of a given lesson just after completing and passing the quiz for the previous lesson. As you continue through the class, the menu to the left indicates your current location (bold) and your progress by providing links through the highest completed lesson. You can navigate to any lesson that has been previously viewed. These navigation features (available within 30 days of your last visit) require that cookies be enabled in your browser and that you are using the same computer and the same browser upon your return.

All statutory references with the section mark (§) shown as §§10-501 through 512 refer to the Open Meetings Act, Subtitle 5 of the State Government Article, Annotated Code of Maryland.

City of Salisbury, as well as opinions from the Open Meetings Compliance Board like Volume 6 OMCB Opinion 104 (2009). Such information is shown as links that you can click to access, then return to the class by closing the open window.
