Action Alert: Call Delegate Hixson at 410-841-3469 or (301) 858-3469

Baltimore County parents are asking for the help of Montgomery County parents.  They are asking that you call Delegate Sheila Hixson this evening and ask her to release the bill that will give them a partially elected Board of Education. 


Delegate Sheila Hixson represents District 20 in Montgomery County, but today she is holding up a bill that would give Baltimore County parents some elected members of their Board of Education. 
  
In Montgomery County we have an elected Board of Education.  That is not the standard in all Maryland counties.  Some Maryland Counties have Boards of Education that are appointed by the Governor.  Baltimore County is one of those counties.  The bill that is currently before the legislature would only give Baltimore County a partially elected BOE.  Part of the BOE would remain appointed seats.  But Baltimore County parents would like to have at least some elected representation on their Board of Education. 


Baltimore County parents are asking Montgomery County parents to pick up the phone this evening (legislature is set to end session at midnight) and ask our representative, Delegate Sheila Hixson, to help Baltimore County parents get at least a partially elected Board of Education.  
Delegate Sheila Hixson:  410-841-3469 or (301) 858-3469
