Would you like to serve on the BCPS Board of Education?
The Baltimore County School Board Nominating Commission will be accepting applications beginning Thursday, Jan. 2, 2020, for the Board’s vacant at-large seat. The individual selected for this seat will fill the remaining vacated term, which ends December 2022. This is the seat that was vacanted after the passing of BCPS Board member Roger Hayden in October.
Following the 2014 and 2017 Maryland General Assembly sessions, the composition and selection of the Board of Education of Baltimore County changed. Beginning in 2018, the Board became a hybrid Board by including both appointed and elected members. Seven members of the school board are elected, while four members of the Board are appointed by the governor. The Baltimore County School Board Nominating Commission has the task of selecting nominees to recommend to the governor for the four at-large positions.
“Now, our task is to select two nominees to recommend to the governor for appointment for the one at-large seat,” said Commission Chairman Aaron Plymouth. “All interested Baltimore County residents are urged to submit applications.”
Candidate interviews are scheduled for:
• Tuesday, February 18, 2020 – 6 to 9:30 p.m.
• Monday, February 24, 2020 – 6 to 9:30 p.m.
The application will be posted on the Baltimore County Public Schools’ website as of Thursday, Jan. 2, 2020. Applications will be accepted through Friday, Jan. 31, 2020.
Applications can be mailed to the Baltimore County School Board Nominating Commission, c/o Tracy Gover, 6901 N. Charles Street, Towson, MD 21204.
