House Bill 235 would require the Montgomery County Board of Education to disclose when they were meeting in closed session to discuss the employment or hiring of their one employee, the superintendent. Under current law, the Board of Education can hide out in a hotel and interview candidates for superintendent without having to disclose their location or agenda.
HB 235 would require the Board of Education to notify the public when they were meeting in a closed session to discuss hiring a new superintendent or other matters related to the employment of the superintendent.
It's a simple addition to the Maryland Open Meetings Act to provide just a bit of sunshine to the workings of the Board of Education.
Watch the Maryland General Assembly - House Government Operations Subcommittee's discussion of this bill at this link.
