Montgomery County parents can advocate for Baltimore County parents to get at least some elected representation on the Baltimore County Board of Education by contacting Montgomery County Delegate Sheila Hixson.
In Baltimore County, the Board of Education is appointed by the Governor.
No Board of Education elections for them!
But, parents in Baltimore County have been working for years to get at least some of their Board of Education members elected. A bill is in the General Assembly right now that would give Baltimore County a "hybrid" Board of Education, 6 elected and 5 appointed members.
However, the bill is hung up this weekend in a committee chaired by Montgomery County Delegate Sheila Hixson.
Baltimore County parents have asked Montgomery County parents to help them advocate for elected representation on their school board.
Contact Montgomery County Delegate Sheila Hixson and ask her to help Baltimore County parents get at least some elected representation on their school board! Delegate Hixson's contact information is below.
