Wicomico County Board of Education - Election of Members, Student Member, and Compensation

SB 1032 restructures the Wicomico County Board of Education by changing its election districts from five to seven councilmanic districts (one member per district starting in 2026) and adding a student member position. The student member must be an 11th or 12th grader in good standing at a Wicomico County public school, serve non-voting for one year, and advise the board on student perspectives. The bill also establishes minimum annual compensation for board members ($4,000 for the chair, $3,700 for others) and creates reimbursement procedures for travel and expenses. These changes directly affect Wicomico County Board members, students in the public school system, and the county's election and budget processes.
