Andrew R. Smarick, 40, appointed last year by Republican Gov. Larry Hogan, was unanimously elected Tuesday by the 12-member policy-making body and will serve a one-year term.
Smarick is a partner at Bellwether Education Partners, a nonprofit that works to improve K-12 education for low-income students, and recently served on the Commission to Review Maryland’s Use of Assessments and Testing in Public Schools, which issued recommendations earlier this month.

And kids say no more
Because it is a bore.
The day Finn & Smarick were appointed was the day I began looking in earnest for a home outside Maryland.
ReplyDeleteStill haven't found the right one, plus it'd be hard to pull up roots here, but....Finn & Smarick!
