Baltimore County, Frederick County, Howard County, and Washington County Boards of Education – Student Members – Alterations

SB 98 modifies student member provisions for school boards in Baltimore, Frederick, Howard, and Washington counties. It removes the requirement for Baltimore County student members to complete budget training before voting, while adding a nonvoting student member position to the Washington County Board with a new scholarship and reimbursement for their activities. The bill also updates voting restrictions for student members across all four counties, clarifying they cannot vote on personnel dismissals, special education appeals, or certain board appeals. These changes aim to adjust student representation roles without altering their core advisory function.
